Lisbon, Portugal, June 4th, 2026, Chainwire
The Genesis Drop, the first-ever VeVe NFT sticker collection, goes live Saturday, June 6, offering early collectors exclusive access, rewards, and a piece of digital collecting history.
VeVe, the world's leading premium digital collectibles platform and home to some of the most iconic licensed IP in entertainment, today announced the official launch of VeVe Stickerverse, a new Telegram-native NFT sticker platform bringing VeVe's world-class collecting experience to the TON blockchain ecosystem.
The announcement was made at NFC Lisbon, one of the world's foremost Web3 and digital culture conferences, marking a landmark moment in VeVe's evolution from a premium app-based collecting platform into a broader, more accessible Web3 ecosystem.
A New Era for Digital Collecting
With nearly one billion monthly active users, Telegram has become one of the most powerful social and digital commerce platforms in the world. The TON blockchain ecosystem, embedded natively within Telegram, now boasts over 50 million monthly active crypto wallets, making it one of the fastest-growing on-chain communities on the planet.
VeVe Stickerverse is purpose-built for this ecosystem: a lightweight, social-first NFT sticker platform where collectors can mint, own, trade, and share digital collectibles directly within Telegram, no separate app required.
VeVe brings to this platform what it has built over 8 years in digital collecting: +10 million digital comics and collectibles sold, +3 million users and relationships with +200 of the world's most beloved brands and IPs, from Marvel and Star Wars to Lamborghini and Disney.
The Genesis Drop: Saturday, June 6
The inaugural drop, the VeVe Stickerverse Genesis Collection, goes live on Saturday, June 6, and early participants will be rewarded for being first.
Genesis collectors gain access to rare collectibles, and a permanent place in VeVe Stickerverse history. The collection features three rarity tiers, Common, Rare, and Secret Rare, with blind box mechanics that make every pack opening a moment of discovery.
Packs can be purchased with Telegram Stars for a seamless, frictionless entry point, or minted directly on-chain via the TON blockchain for full ownership and tradability on secondary marketplaces, including GetGems.
VeVe Stickerverse is led by Jacob Elmon, Head of VeVe Stickerverse and Co-founder of ElmonX , whose expertise in Telegram-native commerce and the TON ecosystem is central to the platform's go-to-market strategy and long-term growth.
"Telegram is where culture lives right now, nearly a billion people communicating, sharing, and increasingly, owning digital assets. VeVe Stickerverse is about meeting collectors where they already are, and giving them something genuinely worth owning. When you pair VeVe's IP relationships and collecting pedigree with the scale and native ownership infrastructure of Telegram and TON, you get something the market has never seen before. The Genesis drop is just the beginning, we're building a community that connects people through the IPs and art they love most.", Jacob Elmon, Head of VeVe Stickerverse and Co-Founder of ElmonX.
"VeVe has always been about more than collectibles; it's about bringing people together through shared passion for the stories, characters, and art that define our culture. Telegram gives us the ability to do that at a scale we've never had access to before.
This is VeVe's next chapter, and the Genesis drop is a moment we want our community, old and new, to be part of. If you've ever wanted to own a piece of the IPs you love, Saturday is your chance to be there with us from the start.", David Yu, Co-Founder and CEO of VeVe.
