Thirty million Toncoin (TON) were transferred today, June 26, from the address of The Open Network Foundation to the address of the popular messenger Telegram. Thus, as data from TON Explorer shows, a colossal amount of cryptocurrency equivalent to $224.64 million was transferred in one tranche to the address “UQCMOX”.
Arman ShirinyanGoing deeper into the string datayou can see that the balance of this address is 213.48 million TON, which is equivalent to $1.59 billion. This is a fairly active wallet, not only receiving but also withdrawing funds. It belongs to Telegram, a popular messenger with an audience of almost a billion people, with which the TON blockchain is almost directly connected.
However, older mentions of the address may indicate that it belongs to Fragment, a blockchain platform from the Telegram team where you can buy and sell profile and channel IDs, anonymous numbers, and Telegram Premium subscriptions.
The TON Foundation, on the other hand, is a non-profit community that aims to support and further develop the blockchain of the same name.
But what was that?
This transfer can be seen as a transfer of funds from a non-profit organization supporting the blockchain to the messaging address where the blockchain deploys all its activities.
Gamza KhanzadaevIt is not yet known if a donation to Telegram can be considered. Neither the messaging team nor the TON Foundation have commented on the colossal transfer, which amounts to $250 million.
