The currency issuance trend sweeps the NFT industry, and Pudgy Penguins takes the lead

If Doodles really plans to issue tokens, it would not be the first time. Previously, another veteran NFT project, Pudgy Penguins, had taken the lead in issuing $PENGU tokens, sparking a wave of discussion in the community. Although $PENGU faced a 50% downward revision after its initial rise, this move still shows that NFT projects have become a new trend in expanding the ecosystem and increasing community stickiness through the issuance of tokens.

It is speculated that Doodles’ move may mean that its ecosystem will be further expanded, allowing tokens to play a key role in NFTs, physical cooperation products, and even metaverse experiences. It is worth noting that this year, Doodles has cooperated with traditional brands such as McDonald's, Adidas, and Crocs across industries. Not only did it print artistic works on McCafé holiday cups, it also released limited edition clothing, toys, and digital experiences, actively opening up the communication between NFT and physical culture. pipeline. The emergence of tokens may further connect these diverse scenarios.

As the crypto market warms up, can NFTs regain momentum?

In the bull market atmosphere of Bitcoin breaking through all-time highs, the crypto industry has seen a lot of good news. However, the overall trading enthusiasm of the NFT market has been relatively sluggish in recent months. Existing signs show that if established projects such as Doodles can use currency issuance and cross-border strategies as catalysts, it is expected to once again arouse the interest of collectors and investors. The successful "pioneer demonstration" of Pudgy Penguins has allowed the market to see the feasibility of NFT projects using their own tokens to create a closed-loop ecosystem, which also makes the currency issuance information reported by Doodles particularly intriguing.

Overall, if Doodles can launch a complete set of community incentives and ecological interaction mechanisms through tokens, it will inject fresh momentum into the NFT market. Investors and players are paying close attention to the next official announcement of Doodles; it remains to be seen whether the token, once launched, can really expand NFT application scenarios, restore market confidence, and continue to push up prices. However, the news has added to the buzz in the NFT market, showing that in the unpredictable crypto world, established projects can still bloom new vitality with innovative strategies.
