MoMA permanently acquires 8 CryptoPunks, NFT art gains recognition in the traditional art world

【Crypto World】 Recently, there is some interesting news — The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York has included 8 CryptoPunks NFT works into its permanent collection. Honestly, this is a significant endorsement for NFTs.

The story behind it is also quite worth paying attention to. This collection was driven by the “Blockchain Art” initiative and received strong support from many crypto art collectors. Even more interesting is that Larva Labs, the original creator of CryptoPunks, also actively donated some works. It’s important to note that CryptoPunks was a pioneer in the early development of NFT art. Seeing it enter MoMA indicates that NFTs are gradually gaining recognition in the traditional art world, marking that crypto art is moving from niche circles toward broader cultural acceptance.
