Telegram gift market in 2026: sales, volume and trends

Updated 12 November 2026 · 4 min read

Since January 2025 Telegram gifts have traded 14.8M times for a total of 246.2M TON across the marketplaces we track. 2026 is already far bigger than 2025, and October 2026 was the largest month on record. This report covers the numbers month by month, which collections the money goes to and how the username and +888 number markets on Fragment compare. All figures are as of November 2026.

The market in numbers

With six weeks of the year still to go, 2026 has 75% more volume than all of 2025. The median sale of 5.79 TON in the last 30 days is a reminder that most trades are small: the bulk of the count comes from gifts that cost a few TON, while a few expensive collections produce most of the volume.

Sales are counted from Portals, MRKT, Tonnel, Getgems, Fragment, Market App and Telegram's own market. Only completed sales count, at the posted price in TON.

Monthly sales and volume since January 2025

Average sale is volume divided by sales. November 2026 covers 1 to 12 November.

The busiest months

By volume, four months stand out.

1. October 2026, 38.4M TON. The largest month by both volume and count (1.72M sales). Resistance Dog resales opened on 10 October and it did 15.7M TON in the rest of the month on its own.
2. June 2025, 20.7M TON. The first big month. Volume more than tripled from May, and the average sale jumped from 7.3 to 23.0 TON as high end gifts like Plush Pepe repriced.
3. July 2026, 18.8M TON. A count driven month: 1.37M sales at an average of 13.7 TON, nearly triple the count of June 2026.
4. January 2026, 16.2M TON. The month with the highest average sale, 27.2 TON. Six of the ten most expensive gift sales on record happened that month, most of them Plush Pepe Cozy Galaxy.

The quietest stretch was March and April 2026, at 6.18M and 5.34M TON, with under 300,000 sales each. The market has not dropped below 8.6M TON a month since. For the record sales themselves, see the most expensive Telegram gifts.

Where the volume goes

The table above shows two separate markets that share the same marketplaces.

• High end gifts. Plush Pepe did 1.40M TON from only 192 sales. Heart Locket did 399,401 TON from 303 sales at a median of 1,235 TON. Few buyers, large tickets.
• Mass market gifts. Chill Flame had 137,326 sales and Vice Cream 128,509, both at a median of 4.0 TON. Myth Mask reached second place by volume with 99,911 sales at a median of 11.9 TON.
• The middle. Resistance Dog (median 589 TON), Scared Cat (280 TON) and Durov's Cap (413 TON) trade often enough to have deep markets and are priced high enough to move real volume.

Over the whole period the concentration is lower than in the last month. The top three collections by all time volume (Plush Pepe at 38.5M TON, Resistance Dog at 18.0M TON and Durov's Cap at 10.9M TON) held 27% of the 246.0M TON total as of November 2026.

Usernames and +888 numbers on Fragment

Fragment also sells two other kinds of Telegram collectible: usernames and anonymous +888 phone numbers. Both are NFTs on TON and trade in the same currency as gifts.

Together that is 209.8M TON, close to the 246.2M TON traded in gifts. Numbers have slightly more sales and more volume than usernames. Sales Tracker follows both: +888 numbers and usernames have their own pages, and the usernames and numbers guide explains how they work.
