No official reason has been given for Holguin’s departure, though speculation suggests internal disagreements over the brand’s direction.
Some welcome Burnt Toast’s return, while others question the move.
Burnt Toast promises an end to the ‘extractive corpo era,’ signaling a shift toward risk, disruption, and radical transparency.
With Martin’s Web3-native approach, anticipation grows for a long-teased Doodles token and a bold new phase for the NFT brand.

Pudgy Penguins Token Set to Be Burnt Today If Unclaimed
There's a limited time to claim your share of Pudgy Penguins’ native token $PENGU before they get burnt, and the deadline is fast approaching—today.

$PENGU is the native token of the Pudgy Penguins ecosystem. Holders receive event access, free merchandise, and additional tokens through staking.
Additionally, they gain governance rights, which include the chance to vote on staking launchpad dates with a bonus allocation.
The tokens that aren't snagged today will be permanently removed from circulation (burnt).
Reducing the total supply could boost the value of the remaining tokens, making now a prime time to buy $PENGU.
Also anticipated to boost $PENGU’s price is the fact that Pudgy Toys are now available in amusement parks across the US.

Getgems Anticipates Telegram’s 950M Users to Fuel NFT Growth
Getgems is betting big on Telegram's 950M active users to drive NFT adoption through its platform in 2025.

Unlike speculative NFTs, Getgems prioritizes utility, such as Telegram Usernames and Anonymous Numbers as digital identities.
Telegram's Usernames and Numbers have already generated significant volumes, totaling roughly $480M.
The messaging app’s animated Gifts feature has seen over 20M purchases alone, with plans to convert them into NFTs on the TON blockchain.
Ahead of going on-chain, Telegram Gifts' pre-mint trading volume reached $1M, showing strong market potential.
