The Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) announces the launch of animated NFT stickers on Telegram, available starting today, June 20, 2025, at 18:00 UTC. Users can now access these exclusive BAYC-themed stickers directly from Telegram’s Sticker Store.
Why are they special? These are not ordinary digital stickers. BAYC has incorporated the stickers into the TON blockchain and made them NFTs. It implies that users can purchase, possess and even trade them just like digital collectibles.
The sticker pack can be bought with Telegram Stars, which can be easily exchanged to Toncoin. This easy procedure allows millions of people to enter the blockchain world without a crypto wallet.
Having more than 900 million monthly active users on Telegram, the BAYC action is not merely a sticker drop. It is a daring move to integrate NFTs into the daily online conversations.
Notcoin and DOGS are the first blockchain success stories in the Telegram Sticker Store, which was launched in December 2024. Another thrilling layer is the launch of BAYC.
It is not only a strategy for fun animations. It is all about community, the more utility NFTs have, and potentially a new secondary market. As people gather and sell these digital apes, BAYC might experience an influx of activity and value.
Using the burgeoning crypto ecosystem on Telegram, BAYC is pioneering the way to make NFTs real and usable digital assets. This release demonstrates the direction NFTs are going in- they are not just art anymore, but part of the chat experience.
