Telegram says no to an unhealthy share of Toncoin

Following the announcement of the Telegram Ad Platform launch, Paul du Rove stated → that users have expressed concern that Telegram may hold an unhealthy share of Toncoin due to the reliance on TON to sell ads.

Experts believe that such a share would be too concentrated for a decentralized ecosystem. The businessman dispelled their fears:

To limit Telegram’s share of TON at ≈10% of the supply, we’ll be selling the upcoming surplus of our TON holdings to long-term investors — under 1-4 years lockup and vesting plan, but at a discount to the market price. This way free-floating TON will get locked up, stabilizing the ecosystem and reducing volatility.


In the meantime, potential investors in TON wishing to invest $1 million or more can express their interest via a dedicated email address — investors@telegram.org
