TON Jumps 20% as Telegram’s Pavel Durov Regains Passport, Boosting Market Confidence
Toncoin (TON) surged 20% in the last 24 hours, climbing past $3.45 and pushing its market cap to $8.14 billion after Telegram founder Pavel Durov recovered his passport from French authorities.
The news marks the end of a travel restriction that had raised concerns among privacy advocates and Telegram’s vast user base. Durov, a long-time champion of digital rights and secure communication, now regains full mobility—an event celebrated by the TON community.
The TON Foundation acknowledged the development on social media, emphasizing its commitment to Durov’s vision of a decentralized, censorship-resistant internet. “Pavel’s fight for online privacy and freedom remains an inspiration to us all,” the foundation stated.
Beyond this, TON has gained momentum from Telegram Wallet’s latest upgrades, which include expanded asset support, yield-earning features, and an improved user experience—driving fresh enthusiasm for the ecosystem.
