The Crypto Stamp featuring the Goddess Athena with her owl.
After the dragon, it's Athena's turn to reign over
bpost's new issue of crypto stamps.
The goddess, the emblematic figure of
strategy and intelligence in Greek mythology, will adorn this hybrid
collector's item uniting paper and digital technology.
An innovative collector's item:
Each crypto postage stamp consists of:
A physical version, "3 World", which enables
non-standardised letters weighing up to 100g to be franked anywhere in the
world
And also a digital twin (NFT) to store in a personal
crypto-wallet. On activation, the user reveals one of the five available
colours; the red variant is still the most coveted as it is extremely rare.
This fun system enhances the stamp-collecting aspect of the item and embodies
bpost group's approach to innovation and digitalisation.
This year, several European postal operators are once
again joining forces for this joint issue.
The 2025 issue is broadening its
European scope with the arrival of the Portuguese postal service (CTT).
Alongside bpost, Österreichische Post (Austria), PostNL (Netherlands), POST
Luxembourg and CTT (Portugal) will all be marketing their own versions of the
crypto postage stamp at the same time.
Practical details and availability:
- On sale: as of 18 September 2025,
exclusively on the bpost eShop and via philatelic channels
- Price: €9.36 each (€9 when buying two or
more copies)
- Limited print run: 17,000 copies Please
note that this postage stamp is not included in the 2025 philatelic
subscriptions: collectors are advised to order online as soon as possible.
The crypto postage stamp combines a top-of-the-range
printed work (paper and special holographic film bringing the design to life)
on the classic postage stamp used to frank your mail and a unique NFT
registered on the Polygon blockchain.
The NFT guarantees the authenticity and
ownership of the digital twin, which can be kept, exchanged or resold on
dedicated platforms once it has been transferred to a compatible wallet.
