GRAM gains as renewed Telegram ecosystem interest draws buyers

Gram rose to $1.18 as Telegram-related enthusiasm and comments from founder Pavel Durov supported demand for the token.

Gram rose to $1.18 as Telegram-related enthusiasm and comments from founder Pavel Durov supported demand for the token. Gram (prev. Toncoin) (GRAM) is trading at ₹113 ($1.20), up 1.7% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Crypto.news, with live market data added, as of Thu, 12 Nov 2026 08:15:01 UTC.

Why it matters

The move ties GRAM’s short-term performance to growing attention around Telegram’s crypto ecosystem, making wallet activity and the token’s market response important signals for its broader adoption.

Key takeaways
  • GRAM reached $1.18 on November 12
  • Crypto.news cited a 4.4% 24-hour rise
  • Live GRAM data shows a smaller 2.81% daily gain
  • Crypto sentiment remains in fear territory

Gram traded at $1.18 on November 12 after gaining 4.4% over the preceding 24 hours, according to Crypto.news. The outlet attributed the increase to renewed interest in cryptocurrency products associated with Telegram and bullish comments from founder Pavel Durov. Crypto.news described growing attention around Telegram’s crypto ecosystem as the immediate backdrop to the move, although its summary did not provide a specific measure of new wallet registrations, active users, or transaction activity. Durov’s comments were cited as an additional source of positive sentiment, but no separate targets or supporting figures were supplied. The latest live data shows GRAM up 2.81% over 24 hours and 1.36% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $3.37 billion. The smaller live daily increase compared with Crypto.news’s 4.4% figure indicates that the figures were captured at different times, while both show GRAM trading higher. The token was also previously known as Toncoin. The broader crypto market was broadly flat at a total capitalization of $2.51 trillion, while Bitcoin was nearly unchanged at 0.04% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed index stood at 28, placing sentiment in the “Fear” zone. Whether continued Telegram ecosystem interest translates into sustained wallet use and broader GRAM demand will determine whether the recent attention has lasting market significance.
