“YEAR OF THE PENGUIN”: WallStreetBets Changes Its Profile Photo To A Prim And Proper Pudgy Penguin!

From GameStop to Doge, WallStreetBets has always been ahead of the curve. Now, the popular subreddit turned X account is joining the huddle with a custom Pudgy Penguin that’s as cute as it is cold.

“Year of the Penguin,” WallStreetBets simply tweeted along with a photo of its prim and proper Pengu penguin that looks like he’s about to take the business world by storm!

 

 

WallStreetBets’ custom Penguin perfectly blends the brand’s iconic trader logo with Pengu, paying homage to its day trading roots while also looking toward an onchain future.

 

After the PFP change, Penguins quickly took to the timeline to welcome WallStreetBets to the huddle.

“Pengu culture,” Pudgy Penguin MK_007 tweeted.

 

This idea of an inclusive Pengu culture has been around for some time. Over the years, major crypto brands, key opinion leaders, and even congressmen have joined the huddle; not by purchasing a four or five figure NFT, but by combining their existing brands and likenesses with the Pudgy Penguins IP!

“Pudgy Penguins virality highlights the concept of social currency & how fungible they are,” notable NFT collector JBond tweeted last summer. “Everyone can have $PENGU and everyone can use $PENGU as PFP. Everyone can be a penguin.”

 

Pudgy Penguins Head of Safety Beau echoed this sentiment just yesterday, writing:  “If you don’t have a Pudgy Penguin NFT yet, use this as your PFP along with a photo of the brand’s mascot, Pengu.
