According to Cointelegraph, Pudgy Penguins, a franchise that originated from NFTs, is rolling out its Vibes Series 3 trading cards at Target stores across the United States.

A physical product push for an NFT-born franchise
The product highlighted in the rollout is the Vibes Series 3 trading card line. As a physical product, the cards give Pudgy Penguins another format for presenting its brand to consumers, while remaining connected to its roots as an NFT-born franchise. The rollout reflects the brand’s continuing effort to extend into items that can be bought and collected in traditional retail environments.
Target stores represent a mainstream retail channel in the United States. By bringing Vibes Series 3 trading cards into Target locations across the country, Pudgy Penguins is expanding its retail footprint and linking an NFT-native brand with physical merchandise and broader consumer distribution.
