Gram (Toncoin) news

Apple briefly removed Telegram from the App Store after finding content violating its policies on child sexual abuse material, according to Bloomberg. The app was restored once Telegram removed the content and banned the user, Apple said. Telegram-linked token Gram dropped about 6.4% to $1.32 before rebounding to around $1.40, per CoinGecko data. Telegram responded on X: "Reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated." The platform also faces legal actions in Russia and Australia over illegal material handling, including charges against founder Pavel Durov.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced a native non-custodial Gram wallet will roll out to all Telegram apps this summer, targeting over 1 billion users with instant, zero-fee crypto transactions. Gram, Telegram's native crypto, jumped roughly 7% on the news, though it remains 88% down from its May 2026 peak. The new wallet differs from the existing @wallet bot, which is custodial by default and operated by a third party. Durov called it 'the largest rollout of a non-custodial crypto wallet in human history,' as no crypto wallet has launched with a billion-user base. Specifics on asset support and key management are pending. Telegram originally created the network in 2018 but faced SEC action, leading to a settlement and project abandonment. Community developers kept it alive as Toncoin until Durov retook control in 2026. The token rebranded back to Gram in June, and this wallet is part of his 'Make TON Great Again' initiative. No exact launch date has been given.

Telegram plans to launch a native non-custodial Gram wallet this summer, potentially bringing self-custody crypto payments to over 1 billion monthly active users. Founder Pavel Durov described it as the largest rollout of a non-custodial crypto wallet in history. The wallet will allow instant, fee-free crypto transfers. The announcement follows the TON blockchain’s rebrand of its token from Toncoin to Gram, reviving Telegram’s original 2018 crypto vision. Telegram has increasingly integrated with TON after an SEC settlement in 2020.

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov announced plans to launch a non-custodial crypto wallet for its roughly 1 billion users this summer, describing it as the 'largest rollout of a non-custodial crypto wallet in human history.' The wallet will feature instant zero-fee crypto transactions, though further details were not provided. The announcement follows Telegram's recent rebranding of Toncoin to GRAM and the shift of stewardship from the TON Foundation to Telegram itself. The messaging app already has a wallet called 'Wallet in Telegram' with over 150 million registered users. Telegram first launched its TON project in 2018 but abandoned it after a legal dispute with the SEC over GRAM token sales.

South Korean exchange Upbit will list nine digital assets across its Bitcoin and Tether markets on June 19, including Lido DAO (LDO), PAX Gold (PAXG), and Morpho (MORPHO), in a staggered rollout from 3 PM to 7 PM KST. Trading restrictions will apply initially, including a five-minute buy order ban and limit-only orders for two hours. Following the announcement, most tokens saw modest gains but some quickly reversed. PEAQ rose 21.9%, while KMNO added 2.79%. However, GRAM fell 2.75% and LIT slipped 1.68%. The mixed performance comes amid broader market weakness driven by macroeconomic concerns.
