If essentially most Telegram users see the actual Pavel Durov's arrest through the censorship lens and the war in Ukraine let us not forget Telegram had allways the intention to capitalise on the infastructure and the mass of it's worldwide users, it chose to develop TON cryptocurrency, here are some reminders :
Telegram shut the project, Telegram Open Network (TON), after a court battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, offering investors partial refunds. The $1.7 billion token offering was one of the largest initial coin offerings in history. The fight with the SEC, which said the tokens, called grams, were unregistered securities, became crypto's biggest legal battle with the U.S. regulator.
