Telegram Financial Report Revealed: Main Revenue Actually Comes from Selling Coins!

Telegram's unaudited financial report for the first half of 2025 reveals a 65% year-on-year revenue increase to $870 million, up from $525 million in the same period of 2024. However, the company reported a net loss of over $220 million, compared to a net profit of $334 million a year earlier. This loss is attributed to a significant decline in the value of its Toncoin (TON) holdings, leading to asset write-downs. Despite its growth in users—now exceeding 900 million monthly active users—Telegram's financial performance is heavily tied to TON. Approximately one-third of its revenue, around $300 million, comes from TON-related exclusive agreements, including wallet integration and payment services. Moreover, Telegram has sold over $450 million worth of TON in 2025 alone, accounting for about 10% of TON's market capitalization, making cryptocurrency sales a major revenue stream. Telegram's planned IPO has been delayed due to ongoing legal investigations involving its founder, Pavel Durov, in France. The company secured $1.7 billion in convertible bonds from institutions like BlackRock and Mubadala in May 2025. Originally launched in 2017, TON faced regulatory challenges from the SEC but was revived as a community-led blockchain. Despite initial growth, TON's ecosystem has struggled recently, with many projects declining significantly in value.

Toncoin climbs above December resistance at $1.7 – Time to buy it now?

Toncoin (TON) has recently climbed above a key resistance level at $1.70, with a 2% daily and 12.5% weekly gain. This bullish momentum is attributed to Telegram's launch of a self-custodial wallet in the US and positive endorsement from Anthony Scaramucci of Skybridge Capital, who listed TON as a top pick for 2026. However, on-chain metrics suggest caution. Open Interest remains below its peak, mean coin age has stagnated, and the MVRV ratio, though rising, is still negative—indicating average losses for recent holders. Network growth has been flat, with larger holders selling and only smaller wallets accumulating. Despite a potential short-term bounce toward $1.89 or $2.01, TON's weak fundamentals and the broader altcoin underperformance in 2025 make it a less convincing buy.

Decoding Toncoin’s 10% rally and what Telegram’s U.S. wallet means next

Toncoin (TON) has surged nearly 10% in the past week, rebounding from a mid-month dip and breaking above short-term resistance around $1.63. The rally coincides with Telegram’s rollout of its self-custodial wallet in the U.S., enabling American users to send, swap, and store cryptocurrencies like TON and USDT directly within the messaging app. This integration significantly reduces friction and could drive everyday usage. While technical indicators like RSI and MACD show bullish momentum, and volatility is rising, on-chain activity and DeFi metrics remain modest. Despite strong real-world developments, the network’s growth has yet to fully match its price action.

Kraken-backed xStocks launches on TON Wallet in ‘nearly all markets’

Kraken-backed tokenized securities platform xStocks has launched on TON Wallet, a self-custodial wallet integrated with Telegram. The rollout makes tokenized U.S. equities available on The Open Network (TON) for the first time, offering assets like Circle, Coinbase, Robinhood, and TON Strategy. While the service is accessible in nearly all markets where TON Wallet operates, it excludes the U.S., EU, and Australia at launch due to regulatory constraints. xStocks aims to target users in developing markets initially, prioritizing global accessibility through digital platforms. In contrast, other firms like Securitize remain focused on the U.S., citing a clear regulatory pathway for tokenized securities there.

"No Questions Asked, Cash Accepted": A Record of Cryptocurrency Street Trading in Montenegro

In Montenegro, cryptocurrency transactions operate in a regulatory vacuum, with unverified intermediaries facilitating anonymous cash-for-crypto exchanges on the streets of Podgorica. A BIRN investigation documented a typical transaction: 70 USDT swapped for €60 cash in minutes, with no questions asked about fund origins. These over-the-counter (OTC) deals, often arranged via Telegram groups, bypass banks and legal oversight. Blockchain analysis revealed one trader’s wallet handled millions in transactions over a year, with a quarter flagged as medium-to-high risk—including ties to frozen or sanctioned funds. Traders include locals and foreigners from Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey, who rely on cash exchanges due to banking access barriers. Despite 2025 anti-money laundering amendments requiring KYC checks for transactions over €1,000, enforcement remains absent. Montenegro’s EU-aligned crypto laws are pending, aiming to regulate service providers and enable tax oversight. For now, the gray market thrives, unregistered and unchecked.
