TON Makes $540M Profit—Even as Telegram’s Founder Faces Legal Storm
Despite legal heat on Telegram’s founder, TON raked in $540M in profit—proving it’s more than just a side project.

Despite looming legal challenges against Telegram founder Pavel Durov, the crypto project tied to the platform—The Open Network (TON)—has managed to pull off a stunning win. According to reports, TON recorded a $540 million profit, showcasing unexpected strength in the face of controversy.
Why is this a big deal?
TON is tightly linked to Telegram, and any legal trouble for its founder could have cast a dark shadow over the ecosystem. But instead, investor confidence seems to be growing, with the network thriving and user activity accelerating.
This sharp profit signals two things: one, TON may be achieving financial sustainability, and two, market sentiment is strong enough to brush off the founder’s legal risk—at least for now.
Whether this growth will last or not remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: TON is no longer just riding on Telegram’s name—it’s making real money.
