That rare moment when a PFP switch becomes a Web3 revolution. 🐧

VanEck kicked it off in July, then Coinbase joined with their Pudgy PFP. But what happened next was pure genius.

Pudgy Penguins took over brand PFPs:
- Binance, OKX, Coinbase
- Uniswap
- Gaming platforms
- Even tax services
- roughly XX more, with more on the way.

By July 16:
- Market cap hit $1.91B
- Floor price: 14+ ETH
- Mentions soared XXX%

No fancy announcements. Just "new pfp, who dis?" posts creating the most organic viral loop I've seen. They turned Pudgy Penguins from an NFT project into crypto's cultural moment.

Think about it:
When was the last time you saw exchanges, DeFi protocols, and dev tools all rally behind one movement?

What fascinates me most is how they built this cultural capital without trying too hard. 

It felt natural. Authentic.

What project do you think could orchestrate something this smooth?
