Make TON Great Again

<p><a href="https://x.com/Ton_blockchain" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Ton_blockchain</a> has officially transitioned its native utility token from <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24TON&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$TON</a> to <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24GRAM&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$GRAM</a>, reverting to the original asset identity outlined in the project's 2018 whitepaper. <cite>Pavel Durov announced the rebrand on June 1, restoring the identity the project carried before the SEC forced Telegram to abandon its entire blockchain effort.</cite> The change took effect on June 15, 2026, and $GRAM has since posted a gain of around 4% on the news.</p>
<h2 id="a-rebrand-not-a-token-swap">A Rebrand, Not a Token Swap</h2>
<p><cite>The decision followed a community governance vote that received 81.22% support, with voting running on the TON Vote platform from June 1 to June 8, 2026.</cite> Crucially, holders are not required to take any action. <cite>No token swap, migration, bridge transfer, or claim process is required, and existing balances, wallet addresses, staking positions, smart contracts, NFTs, Jettons, and DeFi assets continue functioning exactly as before.</cite></p>
<p><cite>The blockchain itself retains the name The Open Network (TON), with only the token's display name, ticker, and logo changing.</cite> All holdings are undergoing a seamless 1:1 conversion across major infrastructure providers, including <a href="https://x.com/Wallet_tg" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Wallet_tg</a>, <a href="https://x.com/Tonkeeper" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Tonkeeper</a>, and <a href="https://x.com/Mytonwallet_io" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Mytonwallet_io</a>.</p>
<p><cite>The rename is the fourth of seven steps in Durov's Make TON Great Again campaign. Steps disclosed so far include a network upgrade making TON ten times faster with sub-second transaction settlement, a sixfold reduction in transaction fees, Telegram replacing the TON Foundation as the ecosystem's primary steward and largest validator, and now the token rename.</cite></p>
<h2 id="exchanges-coordinate-liquidity-migration">Exchanges Coordinate Liquidity Migration</h2>
<p>Major exchanges including <a href="https://x.com/Bitget" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Bitget</a>, <a href="https://x.com/Kucoincom" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Kucoincom</a>, and <a href="https://x.com/Bybit_Official" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Bybit_Official</a> are synchronizing delisting and relisting schedules to manage the liquidity migration. <a href="https://x.com/Binance" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Binance</a> has outlined one of the more detailed transition timelines. <cite>Binance will remove all TON spot trading pairs at 03:00 UTC on June 30, with affected pairs including TON/FDUSD, TON/IDR, TON/TRY, TON/USDT, and others.</cite><cite>Trading for the newly branded $GRAM token is then scheduled to begin at 8:00 a.m. UTC on July 2, with Binance listing seven initial trading pairs including GRAM/USDT and GRAM/USDC.</cite></p>
<p><cite>Binance has confirmed it will handle all technical requirements for affected users, swapping TON tokens to GRAM at a ratio of 1 TON to 1 GRAM.</cite> Users holding $TON on the exchange are not required to take any manual steps.</p>
