Telegram's crypto is rebranding back to 'Gram' and surging — buy the momentum before the full rollout
The Open Network — the blockchain originally created by Telegram — is rebranding its Toncoin token to 'Gram,' returning to the name it had before regulatory pressure forced a change. Telegram founder Pavel Durov personally announced the move, and the token jumped 15% on the news.
Idea
A rebrand back to 'Gram' isn't just cosmetic — it signals Telegram's founder is confident enough to revisit the original vision after years of regulatory roadblocks. Telegram has roughly one billion active users, and if the Gram token gets deeper integration into the app (payments, tipping, in-app purchases), the user base alone could drive massive demand. Crypto rebrands backed by a founder with Pavel Durov's profile tend to attract fresh retail interest in the days following the announcement. The initial 15% pop may just be the start as the story spreads and traders position ahead of the actual rebrand rollout.
