The team behind GRAM (the new name for Toncoin) and TON (The Open Network) is one of the most unique cases in the crypto world. This project transitioned from a tech giant to an independent open-source community, and now they are working closely together.

If the overall market is good (Bitcoin maintains an uptrend or moves sideways), GRAM has many reasons to break out to the $3.5 – $5.5 range thanks to key factors:
Maximum resonance from Telegram: The campaign to rename Toncoin back to GRAM is a move to further integrate into the ecosystem of 1 billion users. As mini-apps and clicker games (like Notcoin, Hamster Kombat) continue to explode, the demand to buy GRAM for gas fees, transactions, and rewards will naturally skyrocket.
Capital inflow from major funds: The TON Foundation is doing a great job attracting large venture capital funds (such as Pantera, Animoca Brands, Cypher Capital). The influx of money as a launchpad for DeFi projects on TON will increase the total value locked (TVL), indirectly driving the coin price up.
Tonkeeper wallet and Tether (USDT): USDT running directly on the TON network has reached high volumes, making it extremely easy for ordinary users to access crypto without needing to know too much about the technical side. GRAM is the coin that benefits from fees on this massive transaction volume.
