PALO ALTO, Jan 21 ― Twitter Inc yesterday announced the launch of a tool through which users can showcase non-fungible tokens as their profile pictures, tapping into a digital collectibles craze that has exploded over the past year.

Twitter displays the NFT profile pictures as hexagons, differentiating them from the standard circles available to other users. Tapping on the pictures prompts details about the art and its ownership to appear.
