Toncoin became Gram on June 15, 2026, after 81.22% of governance participants voted to approve the rename during a June 1–8 ballot on the TON Vote platform. The ticker switched from TON to GRAM across major exchanges; the underlying blockchain retains the name The Open Network.
Crypto.com disabled TON staking effective June 23, converting all staked balances to GRAM at a 1:1 ratio with rewards continuing to accrue in the interim. The exchange also delisted its TONUSD-PERP perpetual contract at 08:00 UTC this morning, settling open positions against a TWAP. Gram's circulating supply stands at 2,698,548,697 tokens, placing its market cap at approximately $4.22 billion as of June 23.
"Gram" was the name Telegram co-founders Pavel and Nikolai Durov assigned in their 2018 white paper, ahead of a private token sale that raised roughly $1.7 billion. The SEC intervened in 2019, alleging an unregistered securities offering; Telegram settled the following year and exited the project. The network continued under a separate foundation, relaunching the token as Toncoin. The rebrand is step four of Pavel Durov's "Make TON Great Again" roadmap, a seven-step plan he began publishing in April. No migration, bridge, or claim step is required — staking positions, NFTs, and smart contracts carried over automatically on June 15.
