News with the tag "Durov arrest"

Telegram's crypto holdings jumped from $400M to $1.3B in H1 2024, driven by Toncoin sales and strategic deals.

Toncoin reached a significant milestone with 1.1 million daily users, but its market experienced turbulence following the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov.

The news come hours after a WSJ report revealed that Durov's phone was hacked back in 2017, a year before he met with the French President.

The Important Stories investigation seemingly contradicts Durov’s public claims.

On August 24, Pavel Durov, co-founder and CEO of Telegram, was arrested in France, sending immediate shockwaves through the crypto market as the value of Toncoin (TON) plunged. The arrest is notably significant given Telegram’s central role in the crypto industry as a primary hub for communications....

India has an estimated 104 million Telegram users, according to World Population Review, and represents the platform’s largest user base globally.

TON traders might view the recent dip as a chance to buy low if Durov’s arrest is an isolated incident.
