As of right now, only users who subscribe to Twitter Blue, the platform’s subscription service, can access the feature. Through NFT Profile Pictures, users can showcase NFTs they own by setting them as their Twitter profile pictures. Under their profile picture settings, they have a new option where they can connect a crypto wallet such as Coinbase Wallet and Metamask and upload any NFT in that particular wallet as their profile picture in the shape of a hexagon.

The launch of NFT Profile Pictures is of little surprise. Many crypto enthusiasts already have NFTs as their profile pictures on Twitter, but the new feature can help distinguish the fake NFT owners from the real ones. NFTs' growing popularity is a major reason why social media platforms are launching, testing, or even considering NFT integration.

As Twitter has demonstrated, social media has played a crucial role in bringing people together around NFTs, creating community, and helping increase user engagement, something that most social media platforms look to do.
