Crypto firms ditch Pudgy Penguin PFPs 24h after promo push
Major crypto companies are already dropping the Pudgy Penguin profile pictures (PFPs) that they adopted over the weekend as bitcoin (BTC) continues to hit record-breaking highs. X user Phin_Erin noted that Pudgy Penguin PFPs from Coinbase and Opensea were dropped 24 hours after they were uploaded. The quick rebrand was part of a coordinated push from Pudgy Penguins and various crypto firms to promote the NFT firm this weekend. The likes of Binance.US, Polkadot, and Justin Sun joined the fray (Polkadot has also dropped the penguin PFP). However, the limelight was taken away from the Penguin-themed project when BTC continued to break all-time-high prices on its way to $122,000 this week.
