NFT & Digital Art

Research Brief · 17 May 2026 Through research on the following hot topics: CATS-themed NFT mints and airdrops, PocketFi 2.0 launching Solana trading via TON Connect, Yescoin leaderboard challenges with Telegram gift rewards, and multiple giveaways for Scared Cat and Neko Helmet NFTs. There's also buzz around Upbit listing PENGU and scam warnings. My take: The cat NFT hype is strong but feels recycled—projects are using airdrops and leaderboards to keep engagement high before TGEs. PocketFi's cross-chain move is more interesting, bridging TON and Solana. I predict more consolidation around TON ecosystem tools and a shift from pure PFP mints to utility-focused NFTs. Public sentiment is cautiously optimistic but wary of scams and delays.
