Pavel Durov announced that over a million self‑custodial Gram wallets were activated on Telegram in two days, with $GRAM up 10% and topping CMC’s top‑100 gainers.
Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, posted on X that more than one million self‑custodial Gram wallets were created on the messaging platform within 48 hours of the rollout. The post also noted that the Gram token rose 10% in the last 24 hours, making it the biggest gainer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap. Durov’s announcement matters because it demonstrates rapid user adoption of Telegram’s integrated crypto wallet, a feature that aims to bring on‑chain payments to a mainstream audience. The surge in $GRAM price reflects market optimism about the utility of a widely used messaging app offering built‑in self‑custody, potentially expanding crypto’s reach beyond traditional exchanges.
“1M+ self-custodial Gram wallets activated on Telegram in just 48 hours. $GRAM is up 10% in 24h, the #1 gainer in the CMC top 100.”
