No way! Telegram just sold 29,000 digital papakhas from Khabib Nurmagomedov and made $4.35 million. The auction ended on November 23, took place over 290 rounds of five minutes each — just like a combat match.

Each papakha was worth an average of 10,100 stars, which is about 103 TON or 150 dollars. These NFTs were issued on the TON network, and can be exchanged for stars, sold as regular NFTs on other platforms. Pavel Durov called this "socially significant NFTs" — not just a collectible item, but something with real value.

It turns out Khabib's papakha has become a quite liquid asset. I wonder how many people bought it as an investment, and how many are just fans?
