VanEck, a large asset manager and ETF provider, has adopted a Pudgy Penguins profile picture (PFP) on social media. This move highlights a shift in the NFT landscape, where major financial entities are now engaging with Ethereum-based NFTs. In 2021, celebrities popularized the use of apes as their PFPs, and now in 2024, significant financial firms are following suit with Pudgy Penguins. This trend suggests a potential for another NFT rally, albeit different from the previous one, with fewer participants. The adoption of these NFTs comes ahead of the anticipated ETH ETF. Additionally, the Pudgy Penguins intern is actively promoting the PFP initiative.
