Pudgy Penguins NFT Launches Toys in 2,000 Walmart Stores, Trading Volume Surges by 530%
Popular NFT collection Pudgy Penguins has launched its Pudgy Toys collection in 2,000 Walmart stores across the United States. The toys, which have been available online since May, are expected to see a significant boost in exposure with their presence in Walmart. Each Pudgy Toy will come with a unique birth certificate that enables owners to claim exclusive traits for their digital 'Forever Pudgy' character within Pudgy World. “Pudgy Penguins is bridging the gap between our physical and digital worlds of play for kids in a really engaging way,” said Brittany Smith, vice president of merchandising – toys, Walmart U.S. According to data from CoinGecko, the NFT collection has registered 1,033 ETH (worth around $1.6 million) in trading volume over the past day, up by 530%. The floor price of the collection has also surged over 11% to 5.2 ETH (worth around $8,200), while its market cap reached 46,008 ETH ($73 million). Walmart's position as the largest retailer in the U.S. and one of the world's largest companies by revenue in 2022 will undoubtedly enhance the collection's popularity beyond the crypto industry. Pudgy World, an immersive multiplayer digital environment, allows users to explore, play games, and fully customize their Forever Pudgy character.
