Twitter Inc. users can now use an NFT as the profile picture on their account!

Part of a broader push to allow more users to show off digital art and massive awareness, or encouragement for the new users, to sign up for the company’s subscription product, as of now, the verified NFTs will appear as hexagons instead of circles on a user’s profile, Twitter said

Many Twitter users are interested in the digital goods, as it is confirmed, Twitter created and distributed its own NFTs, since last June.

People who pay for Twitter’s $2.99 monthly subscription product, Twitter Blue, can connect a cryptocurrency wallet to their account, and select a non-fungible token from their wallet as a profile photo

According to Twitter’s statement, there have been over 256 million tweets about NFTs (since Jan. 2021) the vast majority sent by users in the past six months.
