Telegram Open Network (TON)
Since 2017, Telegram showed a lot of interest in developing its own blockchain and leveraging that power to provide a better service to users. A year later they had raised $1.7 billion by selling 2.9B GRMs tokens (the blockchain’s native asset) to 171 accredited investors.
In 2019, Telegram partnered with Button Wallet to create an easy to use and highly accessible cryptocurrency-based service for Telegram users. The ultimate plan was to allow users to send and receive crypto to any of their friends via the messaging app with the main currency being the blockchain’s native asset: Gram (GRM) tokens.
SEC Battle
Out of the 171 accredited investors, 31 were based in the United States which made it SEC business. Because the sale was made exclusively to accredited investors, Telegram assumed there would be no need to register with the SEC and tried to skip that tedious step. This backfired shortly after the mainnet launch and Telegram was asked to stop the project in its tracks.
Project Abandonment
In a message shared by the company on their blog “telegra.ph", the closure of the project was announced to the public. The reason behind the stop is a US court of law which banned them from not only selling GRM tokens in the US but in the entire world. Why? Because a US resident could eventually find a way to purchase the asset from elsewhere.
The message preached against the court’s decision by making the following analogy: “This court decision implies that other countries don’t have the sovereignty to decide what is good and what is bad for their own citizens. If the US suddenly decided to ban coffee and demanded coffee shops in Italy be closed because some American might go there – we doubt anyone would agree. And yet, despite that, we have made the difficult decision not to proceed with TON”.

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.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
