NFT Art Makes Its Mark at MoMA

Squigs and Punks—two iconic NFT collections—have officially entered the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, marking a significant moment for digital art in the Web3 era. This exhibition demonstrates how blockchain-native artwork is gaining recognition and legitimacy within traditional fine art institutions.

The inclusion reflects a broader shift in how the art world perceives digital collectibles and generative art. Both projects represent different aspects of NFT culture: Punks as cultural pioneers and Squigs as creative innovation. Their presence at one of the world's most prestigious museums signals that NFT art is no longer confined to digital galleries—it's becoming part of mainstream art history.

This development carries implications beyond aesthetics. It opens conversations about digital ownership, artistic authenticity, and how Web3 technologies are reshaping the art market and institutional recognition.

Oh my god, did Punks really get into MoMA? Now the traditional art world won't be able to sleep, haha. Finally no more being called "speculation," even the art museums have certified it. This thing is valuable because it's valuable, regardless of aesthetic opinions. If MoMA accepts NFTs, does that mean early holders like us are also worth something? It feels a bit surreal, but I like this feeling of being proven wrong.

Wait, Punks made it into MoMA? The traditional art world must be completely broken now haha NFTs have finally turned the corner. Do you remember how they were ridiculed back then? MoMA has approved it, so who else dares to say this is just a money grab? To be honest, digital ownership is much more complicated than physical collections. We Web3 folks can finally hold our heads high. The so-called "illegal art" is now in the prestigious halls. But what I care more about is whether other works will be selected in the future. This is just the beginning. MoMA has compromised, traditional art institutions really have no choice. Squigs Punks are truly top-tier, forever divine. Now that they are in MoMA, there are still people calling NFTs a scam? Laughing to death. This is the meaning of our persistence—witnessing a historic moment.

Wow, Punks and Squigs are in MoMA? Now the traditional art world has to bow and scrape. --- MoMA accepting NFTs means we've won big. --- Wait, is this just hype again... but I have to admit, it's really impressive. --- Finally, the feeling of being recognized is awesome. --- Part of mainstream art history? Ha, this is no longer a dream. --- I've been saying it for a long time, digital art is the future. Now believe it. --- From being mocked to MoMA, this turnaround could be made into a movie. --- The key is digital ownership—that's the real focus, everyone. --- But what truly changes is people's perception, and that's more valuable than anything. --- Punks in MoMA, my bag is in too, haha.
