> The app announcement came 19 days before the token’s Oct. 20 gain, separating the listing from the later price move.

SoFi announced trading for Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) in its banking app on Oct. 1, 19 days before the token gained 5.3% on Oct. 20.

The listing announcement and the market move occurred on separate dates. SoFi’s app addition was public well before the later daily gain, and no second rollout is identified.

PENGU’s Oct. 20 increase was 5.3%, based on UTC daily closing prices. That makes the figure a one-day move, while Oct. 1 marks the app announcement. The chronology shows the gain followed the listing, but does not establish that the listing caused it.

The addition puts PENGU trading inside SoFi’s banking app, connecting the token with a consumer banking product. The dates also separate trading access from performance: an app listing describes where a token can be traded, while a daily percentage records price movement over a specific period.
