The price of Toncoin (TON) jumped by about 15% over the weekend after French authorities allowed Telegram founder Pavel Durov to leave the country.
On March 15, the Ton Foundation confirmed that French authorities returned Durov's passport, granting him the freedom to leave the country. According to a report published by Le Parisien, Durov traveled to Dubai after months of legal restrictions imposed on him in France.
Durov's legal troubles date back to August 2024, when French authorities arrested him, accusing Telegram of failing to address illegal activities on its platform. His case sparked global discussions about digital privacy and freedom of expression, with critics arguing that the charges were an attempt to control encrypted messaging apps.
