❤️ TON — First once again According to CryptoDiffer data, TON took first place in market sentiment among all blockchains. This may mean that interest in TON and related assets, including Telegram gifts — continues to confidently grow.

🔝 Just discovered on the Telegram test server that you can sell gifts for TON! If the buyer pays you in TON, there's no risk of refunds & no 21-day trade ban applies, unlike Stars payment. When you're selling, you've got the option to pick either Stars or TON as your currency. If you're using TON as currency, the commission ranges from 10% to 20%, likely depending on your rating!

🚀Pump from @dope? In the chat of the channel @collectibles, @dope was asked: "When will the Snoop Dogg collection pump happen?" — to which he replied: July 31.

🎁 Pavel Durov reported that he knows about the dark side of Telegram gift success - some users blackmail money, threatening to leak personal information or confidential data to get expensive gifts.

👑 Rare Telegram gifts, numbers, and usernames — once bought for just a few dollars — can now sell for over $100,000. But this surge in value has a dark side. 🤦‍♂️ ⚠️ We’re seeing scammers blackmail users, trying to force them into handing over these valuable collectibles. There are also reports of channels extorting money by threatening to leak personal information or sensitive data. Some have even turned this into a business model — publishing damaging posts and charging for their removal. 💰 ✋ This is both illegal and immoral, and it won’t fly with us. 🪰 🤙 If you’ve been threatened or blackmailed by scammers or channels, please report it immediately. Send me a private message in this channel with as much proof as possible. We’ll remove these bad actors from our platform and keep Telegram a safe place for everyone. 🪿

If you have been blackmailed or threatened by scammers, you can report it directly to Pavel Durov or @notoscam.

🎁 New Gift Collaborations Coming? The @collectibles channel has hinted at another batch of gifts from third-party brands, eliciting a range of reactions from users. While some are hopeful that new gifts could boost the market, others are skeptical, pointing to previous collaborations (such as Snoop Dogg's gifts) as a contributing factor to the current downturn. Some users believe that exclusive gifts from Telegram itself could revitalize the market. In contrast, I think that partnerships with external brands are essential for the platform's growth and development. Without these collaborations, digital collectibles might become mere profile decorations, lacking real value or purpose. Will new gifts from third-party brands breathe new life into the market, or will they fail to make an impact? Only time will tell. One thing is certain: the success of digital collectibles depends on more than just their aesthetic appeal.
