Telegram Toncoin Crypto Asset makes the company susceptible to changes in the token’s market value. 

The price of TON fell by 25% to $5.24 during Telegram founder Pavel Durov’s legal issues.

However, the token rebounded in the following weeks, supported by a broader cryptocurrency market rally, hitting a high of $6.657 on Saturday.

Despite some fluctuations in the price of Toncoin following Durov’s arrest, Telegram has continued to generate revenue from crypto asset sales. In the first half of 2024, the company recorded $353 million in cryptocurrency transactions and reported a profit after taxes of $335 million, demonstrating its financial strength.

Telegram Shows Promises In Other Areas Aside From Crypto 

Major sources of the social platform growth included cryptocurrency transaction income, advertising, and premium subscription services.

Advertising revenue nearly doubled, reaching $120 million, while premium subscription services generated $119 million, up from $32 million. 

These financial strides demonstrate Telegram’s ability to diversify its income streams while capitalizing on the expanding digital asset market.

The surge in crypto holdings suggests that Telegram is well-positioned for continued expansion in the digital asset space. As the company builds on its initiatives, its crypto holdings will boost further innovation.
