In 2017, Pavel Durov was choosing a name for Telegram's new cryptocurrency.

The idea was to give it a simple, familiar name that would fit naturally into everyday life. That's how Gram was born.

In 2019, Telegram stepped away from the project, and the community continued developing the open-source technology independently. The blockchain later became The Open Network, with Toncoin as its native token.

Toncoin wasn't immediately listed on major exchanges, so @wallet was created as a simple way to buy the coin right inside the messenger.

In spring 2026, Durov announced the MTONGA plan, Make TON Great Again, with 7 steps.

Telegram returned to the project: became the network's largest validator, replaced TON Foundation and taking a leading role in TON's development. The community voted to restore the original name: Toncoin became GRAM again.

Continuing the MTONGA plan, Durov announced a built-in non-custodial wallet. It's already available to select groups and will reach millions of users over the coming weeks.

The Senate blocked the bill in a procedural vote. The market reacted instantly: $300M in crypto longs were liquidated in just 20 minutes. BTC is back under selling pressure.

But regulators aren't backing down. SEC Chair Paul Atkins said the agency will deliver regulatory clarity for crypto "with or without legislation." The CFTC is also ready to issue crypto rules on its own.

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh: "Inflation has been too high for too long." The Fed isn't confident inflation is moving toward its target and expects one more rate hike before year-end. Higher rates can put additional pressure on crypto and equities, while making more conservative assets relatively more attractive.

The House Committee approved a bill to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, under which the US would hold BTC as a government reserve asset.
