Telegram NFT -Gifts see Surge in the midst of rising wallet -activity
There are a total of 118 gift types in circulation. Of these, 86 have been fully upgraded to NFTs. The rest does not have either, because they have not had the time or simply are not interested. Nevertheless, the enthusiasm of users remains strong. One reason is fairly simple: if gifts are sent off-chain, the conversion to NFT takes about 21 days. That is why many choose to exchange them directly through a faster and more immediately channel.
Another interesting finding came from the wallet distribution data. The majority, more than 60%, of active transacting portfolios were made in 2025. This indicates that new users are coming, not only old players who open old portfolios casually.
It does not stop there, the estimated full value of the project (FDV) has already reached $ 194 million, with an active market capitalization of around $ 161 million. Although not all gifts have yet been converted into NFTs, the market potential seems enormous.
In addition, telegram stickers have also become tradable since last April at various freely available market places, and this gift function is now increasingly being integrated with the social activities of users in the app.
From virtual weed to stars: how NFTs become personal
In the meantime, CNF reported on 10 July that Snoop Dogg successfully sold nearly 1 million NFTs directly on Telegram using the blockchain-based gift function Ton. His collection is quite striking, including vintage cars, SWAG bags, digital marijuana and even virtual dogs with a quirky but distinctive visual style.
And yes, everything can be displayed directly on the telegramp profiles of users. Moreover, these NFTs can also be converted into ‘stars’, a kind of social reward that adds value to their owners.
This is proof that NFTs on Telegram are not only collecting objects, but also start with social use. Moreover, this trend coincided with an increase in the global NFT sales volume in July 2025, the second highest month of the year.
Although the number of unique buyers actually decreased, the transaction volume actually increased. Ethereum still leads in the number of NFT transactions, but Cardano stole the show with the highest percentage of growth in volume.
All this indicates one thing: NFTs for use – not just for display or storage – are starting to be central. And Telegram, although originally known as a messages -app, is now starting to look like a bustling, busy and very active digital market.
