After so many bad words and struggles with the SEC, Telegram is finally giving up its cryptocurrency TON; Ah yes, they call it stop.

The first announced in January 2018 that it intends to launch its cryptocurrency - called Gram on Telegram Open Network (TON); in August 2019, he promised investors that in the next two months he would send the first batches of his currency, the gram, or risked losing more than the $ 1.7 billion he had collected to make that currency.

But the plan failed when the SEC ordered Telegram to halt sales of its cryptocurrency (called Gram) after it failed to register an early sale of $1.7 billion in tokens prior to launching the network in October that year.

Today, Telegram announced quitting its cryptocurrency planned operations

“Telegram’s active involvement with TON is over,” wrote Pavel Durov, founder and CEO, in an announcement on his channel. “You may see – or may have already seen – sites using my name or the Telegram brand or the ‘TON’ abbreviation to promote their projects. Don’t trust them with your money or data.”

TON was a blockchain platform designed to offer decentralized cryptocurrency to anyone with a smartphone, in a similar fashion to Facebook’s Libra project.

From the tone of the announcement, you’ll notice that the founder is angry with American court, for having so much power to stop the sale of cryptocurrency beyond US borders and consider himself a failure.

“This battle may well be the most important battle of our generation,” he wrote. “We hope that you succeed where we have failed.”
