French authorities allowed Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, to leave the country and go to Dubai, as announced on March 15, 2025. The exact conditions of his departure remain unclear: some media claim that the entrepreneur left the country immediately after the court's decision, while others indicate a temporary permit for a few weeks. Durov himself did not comment on the news, and no official statements from the French authorities were made either. Despite the uncertainty, the cryptocurrency market reacted positively: the price of Toncoin, the native token of the Open Network (TON) blockchain, increased by more than 20%. In the evening of March 15, the asset's value reached $3.47.
