The Telegram collection market has continued to warm up in the near future. Telegram founder Pavel Dorov bought a Plush Pepe, valued at 7,500 GRAM, and then transferred the NFT to the designer, Adler Toberg, associated with the Telegram interface and the gift system, to draw attention to the TON community.
Third time in the last six months, ton collection.
This is the third time that Douro has been identified for the purchase of an ecological collection of Ton in more than six months. According to reports, he purchased another Plush Pepe for the first time in December 2025; one month later, another Telegram Gift NFT was added.
This buy-in is not a high frequency, depending on the number of times. But for Telegram's founders, successive efforts were interpreted by the market as a constant concern for the ecology of the Telegram collection, rather than a one-off attempt.
Buy and transfer to Telegram Design Division
Another focus of the deal was that Duro bought and transferred the NFT to Adler Toberg. The latter is considered closely related to Telegram ' s interface design and gift ecology.
This transfer also brought the past jokes of the Ton community closer to reality. The community has changed, and these types of NFTs may eventually go to Telegram employees and become some kind of “job reward”. Today, a similar picture emerges in reality.
Ton, eco-trading heat rises.
When the deal took place, Ton's ecology continued to expand. The report mentions that the most recent upgrade of the TON protocol allegedly increased the speed of the network to 10 times its original speed and reduced the time of final confirmation of transactions to less than one second.
At the same time, projects like GOAT Gaming Underground Pepe are extending Prush Pepes from simple digital collections to game assets with incentive systems. Secondary market demand is also warming. Previously, a Telegram username NFT had been sold at 500,000 USDT, showing that chain assets directly related to Telegram ecology were attracting more attention.
For the time being, the transaction itself was a NFT transfer. However, in the ecological context of Telegram and TON, the value of such assets is no longer limited to their own possession, but also begins to carry stronger community and platform symbols.
