People often ask me, "What's the potential market for @Telegram Gift?"
Here's a data nugget: I've gathered all the Deposit Addresses in @wallet, revealing over 300k KYC-ed users (since it's a custodian wallet).
These users are primed to dive into the #StarFi ecosystem—aka the Telegram Stars universe—and immerse themselves in the Gift ecosystem powered by @TON_blockchain.

I just deposit $10k USDT for 20% APY on @ton_blockchain with lowest risk.
This is how it goes: Leveraging on @TorchTon / @tgusd_official, plus the @FivaProtocol that yields on YT/PT tokens.
"Challenging times build the most resilient teams."
*These two teams are also backed by @tvmventures

Telegram & TON Stuff with Howard
The Gift ecosystem is about to explode, growing 10x to 100x in just 1-2 years. Why? It's all about riding the Telegram Premium wave. With growing skepticism around NFTs, the spotlight shifts to @Telegram. Telegram Gift isn't your typical NFT—think of it…
1/ @Telegram Gifts is set to become a significant asset class, capturing a portion of TON's market cap. It's the straightforward way to leverage the growth potential of the @TON_Blockchain beta.
2/ The attention economy is king. Look at how Labubu or PopMart have capitalized on it. Now, imagine @Telegram Gift doing it even better.
3/ Picture @Telegram as the oracle, verifying asset existence. I've discussed this before, but it's a game-changer for digital items and distribution. It's the off-chain asset that's easy to use on Web2 flow (on Telegram) and also the on-chain assets on TON!
4/ This is the most disruptive innovation in history: having liquid assets on-chain within a messenger app—not WeChat, not Facebook Messenger. It's @telegram taking the first step to embrace digital assets natively in-app.
5/ Currently, it's a small ecosystem, with less than $200 million FDV. However, with upcoming products based on Gift Marketplace, CeDeFi, asset management, Yields products, and on-chain reputation projects, there will be plenty of opportunities.

I had an idea today: to capture the entire growth of the Gift market, it's best to buy each according to its market cap proportion.
Currently, Pepe's market cap is about 16% — with one being around 4,000 TON, approximately 12k USD.
Based on this proportion, you would need about 75,000 USD!

- While @Binance offers VIP status for 30 BNB (around $20k), @TON_Blockchain's $35k processing fee might seem steep. Yet, becoming a Binance VIP isn't easy, requiring significant trading volume and assets.
- With @TON_Blockchain, staking $100k in Toncoin for three years is straightforward and open to more participants.
If you're a long-term Toncoin holder, this campaign could be your strategic play for snagging a Golden Visa.
Based on the feedback I received, I think most users asking are people in China, Russia, and other Southeast Asian countries mostly.
*Remember: these numbers are subject to change.

Fact: New accounts in the Gifts ecosystem are still not showing significant growth (whether in deposits on Portals or Tonnel).
My arguments:
1/ The July 4 Collection release did not bring any incremental new users. The reason is obvious—it was instantly swept up, leaving no chance for new users to participate. Essentially, it’s a zero-sum game among existing players.
2/ This means it’s a negative-sum game—since the only remaining unbanned bots control the majority of new gift allocations.
There’s no wealth effect, no network effect to drive awareness, no incentive for organic promotion, and thus no new capital inflow.

My action:
1/ I believe Plush Pepe(@plushpepe)—the market leader will remain the most value-preserving asset. Other mid-to-low-tier assets will continue to decline.
The current gift market lacks new users—it’s purely existing players competing for scraps.
2/ For these existing players, high-net-worth individuals and Plush Pepe (the top-tier asset) serve as status symbols.
