Pavel Durov leaves France: The Telegram effect on TON
What happened: The founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, recovered his passport and left France on March 15, 2025, after months under legal scrutiny. For the crypto community, this meant one thing: Toncoin (TON) took off.
The Drama that Moved Markets
In August 2024, Durov's arrest in France caused panic. TON plummeted 35%, falling from $6.88 to $4.44. Investors were selling out of fear that Telegram — and with it, the entire TON blockchain — would be left in legal limbo.
But when Durov managed to leave France recently, the market quickly forgot the pessimism. TON jumped 20% in a matter of hours. The message was clear: as long as the founder is free, the project is alive.
Current Numbers (17 March, 2025)
Why This Matters
TON is not just another blockchain. It is the blockchain of Telegram, the messaging app with 900+ million users. Any news about Pavel Durov is news about the future of TON. When Durov faces legal issues, the holders tremble. When Durov breathes easy, they buy.
This volatility reflects a reality: TON is too linked to a single person. That is risk, but it is also an opportunity for traders who understand the geopolitical game behind cryptocurrencies.
