Snoop Dogg’s Weed-Themed NFTs Sell Out on Telegram in 30 Minutes!

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. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’ฐ

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. ๐Ÿค‘

Durov shared the news on X, calling the launch a resounding success and noting that demand had overwhelmed expectations. ๐ŸŽ‰

The NFT drop, described as being โ€œinspired by Snoopโ€™s iconic style,โ€ featured a range of digital collectibles, including marijuana-related objects, a digital dog, vintage cars, swag bags, and other themed symbols. ๐Ÿšฌ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿš—

Pavel added that both blockchain minting and secondary market trading for the collection will begin in 21 days on the TON blockchain. ๐Ÿ“…

As part of the release, Snoop Dogg also debuted a new track titled โ€œGiftsโ€ along with a music video showcasing the entire collection. ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽฅ

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. ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ“ฆ

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, Telegramโ€™s in-app currency. The items are designed to be both expressive and functional within the social platformโ€™s expanding digital economy. ๐ŸŒŸ

Telegram Gifts were first introduced in January 2025 through an update by MyTonWallet, a self-custodial wallet built on the TON blockchain. ๐Ÿ“ฒ

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. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿฆ…
