Telegram almost done paying TON investors
Social media giant Telegram is close to paying off the $1.7 billion it raised from investors during its initial coin offering (ICO). The company raised some funds via bonds and is already working on going public in two yearsEarlier today, Russian newspaper Vedomosti reported that Telegram is set to go public by 2023. This comes after confirming that the messaging app is close to repaying investors in its TON blockchain ICO.
This latest development comes almost a year after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accused Telegram of violating securities law by carrying out the ICO, where it raised nearly $2 billion.
A source close to the team revealed that Telegram plans to launch an IPO by 2023 and aims for a $30 billion to $50 billion valuation. The buyers of Telegram’s bonds are set to enjoy the IPO after the company raised $1 billion in bond sales.
Telegram is getting ready to close the books on the $1.7 billion token sales it conducted three years ago. Several reports suggested that the social media giant began paying back the last investors who didn’t withdraw their investments last year.
Two sources close to Telegram revealed that the process of repayment is already underway. One of the sources added that non-American investors lent Telegram $500 million to $600 million in 2019 after the company said it doesn’t plan to launch TON again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
