In a move that’s sure to make you say “Doggone, that’s impressive!”, millions of weed-themed NFTs inspired by American rap legend Snoop Dogg sold out on Telegram just 30 minutes after launch. ๐ฟ๐ฐ
According to Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, the collection generated $12 million in sales and included roughly 1 million NFTs minted on The Open Network (TON) blockchain. ๐ค
Durov shared the news on X, calling the launch a resounding success and noting that demand had overwhelmed expectations. ๐
The NFT drop, described as being โinspired by Snoopโs iconic style,โ featured a range of digital collectibles, including marijuana-related objects, a digital dog, vintage cars, swag bags, and other themed symbols. ๐ฌ๐ถ๐
Pavel added that both blockchain minting and secondary market trading for the collection will begin in 21 days on the TON blockchain. ๐
As part of the release, Snoop Dogg also debuted a new track titled โGiftsโ along with a music video showcasing the entire collection. ๐ต๐ฅ
Having previously merged his brand with platforms like The Sandbox and Roobet, Snoop continues to use blockchain as a direct-to-fan channel for content and collectibles. ๐ฎ๐ฆ
The latest collection is part of Telegram Gifts, a feature that allows animated digital collectibles to be displayed on user profiles or converted into Stars, Telegramโs in-app currency. The items are designed to be both expressive and functional within the social platformโs expanding digital economy. ๐
Telegram Gifts were first introduced in January 2025 through an update by MyTonWallet, a self-custodial wallet built on the TON blockchain. ๐ฒ
This marks the second high-profile sellout for Telegram Gifts in recent days. On July 4, limited-edition items themed around American symbols such as Crystal Eagles, Statues of Liberty, and Liberty Torches also sold out in less than a minute. At the time, Durov said that all 15,000 Crystal Eagles, priced around $100 each, were claimed in just 45 seconds. ๐บ๐ธ๐ฆ
๐จ Snopp Dogg just released a song about Telegram NFTs on $TON.
Moves will be made, and you do not want to be left out. The time for gains is coming.๐๐
