September 2026
One of the most telling things about DDNYC 2026 was not just how many people showed up, but who. Billionaire collector Adam Weitsman and Spencer Gordon-Sand, CEO of Orange Cap Games and the executive behind the Moonbirds revival, both attended the Doginal Dogs flagship event, spent time with the community, and left publicly impressed.
For the community, it was a proud moment. For the space, it was a glimpse of something healthier: builders and collectors supporting one another instead of competing in silos.
Adam Weitsman, one of the most active collectors in NFTs, did not just make an appearance, he engaged. After the event, he shared his reaction publicly, calling the Doginal Dogs after party “so next level” and the community “deep, loyal and passionate,” and saying he was “very proud to be a part of this amazing family.”
When a collector of his stature speaks about a community that way, and means it, the community takes notice.

Spencer Gordon-Sand brought a builder's perspective. Through Orange Cap Games, he leads the Moonbirds revival and has built premium trading card games himself, so when he examined Doginal Dogs Legends and praised its quality, the endorsement carried real weight. The message he echoed was simple: the whole space can win when builders support builders.
For figures connected to Yuga Labs and Moonbirds to spend the weekend genuinely engaging with a Dogecoin-based community underscored a theme the event kept returning to, cross-project support over competition.
That two of the most recognized names in NFTs chose to be at DDNYC 2026 is a marker of how far the Doginal Dogs community has come. For a collection that started as a free mint in January 2024, drawing figures of this profile, on their own initiative, is validation from the top of the space.
It also reflects the connective role the community has started to play. DDNYC 2026 was not just a Doginal Dogs event; for a weekend, it felt like a place where the broader NFT world came together, with this community at the center of it.
