Özet

The native token of the Toncoin (TON) network is being rebranded to 'Gram,' reviving its original name from the project's first white paper. This change, announced by Telegram co-founder and CEO Pavel Durov, is the fourth step in his "Make TON Great Again" (MTONGA) initiative. The transition period is expected to take about three weeks, and a new logo has been previewed. The rebrand follows Telegram's official return to the ecosystem in May as its largest validator, after a six-year absence that began with a 2020 legal dispute with the SEC. Durov stated that the move "returns to our roots" and paves the way for future developments, with three more steps remaining in the MTONGA roadmap. At the time of the announcement, Gram was trading around $2.02.

Toncoin’s native token has rebranded to ‘Gram’ as part of the latest step in Pavel Durov’s “Make TON Great Again” roadmap.

Toncoin’s Native Token Is Now Called Gram

In a new post on Telegram, Pavel Durov has shared details related to a rebranding of the native token of the Toncoin network. The asset is set to see a name change to Gram, with the transition period expected to take about three weeks.

Durov is the co-founder and CEO of Telegram, and one of the biggest backers of TON. In the blockchain’s early days, its full form even stood for the Telegram Open Network, with the Telegram team handling its development. Telegram’s official involvement with the token, however, ended back in 2020 following a legal dispute with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

After Telegram pulled out, the ecosystem rebranded itself to The Open Network and development was handed off to independent contributors. While the messaging giant ended its involvement in the project, it didn’t break all ties. In 2023, Telegram integrated a wallet based on the blockchain to its official app.

Durov himself also remained a supporter of the project. This year, the Telegram CEO kickstarted the “Make TON Great Again” (MTONGA) initiative, which is going to have a total of seven steps. The first two steps of the roadmap went into action in April and provided upgrades to the network’s transaction speed and fees.

The third step, announced in early May, saw Telegram officially re-enter the picture after a six-year absence, replacing the TON Foundation as the driving force behind the ecosystem. The messaging company also became the network’s largest validator.

“Telegram becoming TON’s largest validator strengthens decentralization,” said Durov in an X post a day after announcing the move. “It lets other major players join the validator pool without centralizing the network — with Telegram as the counterbalance.”

Now, the Telegram co-founder has unveiled the rebrand to the name Gram as the fourth checkpoint in the MTONGA plan. This change, which only applies to the blockchain’s native token, will bring back the asset’s original name from its first white paper. The new website for the token provides a teaser of a fresh logo for the cryptocurrency.

“We’re returning to our roots — and starting a new chapter,” noted the Telegram co-founder. “This rebranding will pave the way for what comes next.” There are three more steps left in the MTONGA roadmap, but it only remains to be seen what they will bring to the network.

BREAKING – Michael Saylor Tries To Cool Bitcoin’s Internal Rivalries — But Can He?

In a new paper, Michael Saylor addresses internal tensions within the Bitcoin community by identifying four primary camps: Maximalists, who view it as sound money; Capitalists, focused on institutional integration; Technologists, pushing protocol upgrades; and Fundamentalists, prioritizing decentralization and self-custody. Saylor argues these divisions reflect Bitcoin's maturation into a broader financial system, reaching individuals, companies, and governments, rather than signaling collapse. He suggests Bitcoin can maintain its core protocol while supporting growth in surrounding financial markets and products. This analysis comes amid market pressure on his company, MicroStrategy, following its first Bitcoin sale since 2022. The central question remains whether Saylor can mediate these rivalries rooted in money, politics, and principle.

Hoskinson Denies Cardano Exit Rumors: ‘I’m Not Leaving’

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson dismissed rumors of his departure, clarifying in a June 4 livestream that he is only stepping back from public communication, not resigning from the project. This followed community concern after his "taking a break" post on X. Hoskinson cited an unsustainable level of online toxicity, with nearly one-third of replies to his posts being hostile or abusive, making meaningful engagement nearly impossible. While acknowledging X's role in crypto information flow, he stated the psychological cost is too high. He emphasized his focus remains on technological development like RealFi, Midnight, and research, not on ADA's price. Hoskinson described a "tale of two Cardanos": significant protocol advancements versus poor market performance leading critics to label it a failure. He called for the community to resolve this dissonance by moving discussions away from X, rethinking incentives, and developing a new shared roadmap. He was critical of the Cardano Foundation's lack of accountability. Hoskinson announced he will take time away from public videos and social media to reflect, but will continue working on Midnight. He stated he will only engage in channels where he is treated with respect and dignity.

There’s An FOMC Meeting Scheduled This Month, But Will The Fed Decision Affect Bitcoin?

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is scheduled to meet on June 16-17, with markets widely expecting the Fed to maintain interest rates at their current level of 3.5-3.75%. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, there is a 99.4% probability of rates remaining unchanged. The outcome of this meeting is anticipated to impact Bitcoin's price. If rates are held steady, Bitcoin's current market trajectory is likely to continue unchanged. Conversely, an unexpected rate hike could trigger bearish sentiment by reducing investor risk appetite and market liquidity, potentially leading to sell-offs. A rate cut, though currently considered improbable, would be the most bullish scenario, encouraging investment in risk assets like Bitcoin and potentially driving its price higher.

Anthropic's IPO Launch: Commercial Miracle or Valuation Bubble?

Anthropic has confidentially filed for an IPO, led by Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, potentially going public by October. Following its latest $650 billion funding round, its pre-IPO valuation stands at $965 billion, with projections reaching up to $2 trillion at listing, which would make it the highest-valued private company ever. The article, written by Fu Sheng, addresses skepticism that this represents an AI bubble akin to the 2000 dot-com crash. It argues the current situation differs fundamentally. Unlike the internet bubble era, which relied on speculative narratives with little revenue, Anthropic's valuation is backed by unprecedented, measurable financial performance. Key data points include: * **Revenue Growth:** ARR skyrocketed from $10 billion in early 2025 to $470 billion by May 2026, targeting $100 billion by year-end—a growth curve unmatched in business history. * **Profitability:** It achieved operating profitability in Q2 2026 with an estimated $5.6 billion profit. * **Efficiency:** With ~3,000 employees and ~$470 billion ARR, its revenue per employee exceeds $10 million. Products like Claude Code, launched less than a year ago, already generate $25 billion in annualized revenue. * **Enterprise Adoption:** It boasts a strong enterprise client base, with 8 of the Fortune 10 and over 1,000 large firms spending over $1 million annually on Claude. The valuation is framed using a traditional SaaS model (e.g., a 10x Price-to-Sales multiple on $100 billion revenue). The author contends the core question for analysts has shifted from "How big could this be?" to "How much is it earning and will earn next quarter?" The discussion extends beyond Anthropic to a broader paradigm shift: the transition from a "carbon-based" to a "silicon-based" economy. Companies are increasingly prioritizing investment in compute and AI capabilities over human resources, as these directly scale productivity and competitive advantage. Anthropic's IPO is thus positioned not just as a corporate milestone, but as a price anchor for this new economic era.

US Senators Press Bank Regulators For ‘Fair’ Crypto Capital Rules

A group of U.S. Senate Republicans, led by Senator Cynthia Lummis, is urging federal bank regulators to establish clear and fair capital rules for banks involved with crypto assets. In a letter to the Federal Reserve, FDIC, and OCC, the lawmakers criticized the international Basel Committee's standards, which impose a punitive 1,250% risk weight on crypto assets, calling it a de facto ban not based on actual risk. They applauded recent interagency guidance that granted tokenized securities the same capital treatment as traditional ones, arguing this risk-based principle should apply consistently to all digital assets. The senators called on the agencies to develop a new capital framework, aligning with recent legislative progress on crypto market structure. Their push coincides with testimonies from top regulators, who emphasized a shift toward more risk-based supervision and responsible innovation, while also addressing stablecoin oversight under new proposals.
