Gram (prev. Toncoin) news today is limited: the most recent confirmed development is Telegram's expansion of its Money wallet on October 9, 2026, not anything from the last 24 to 48 hours. At the time of this snapshot, GRAM is priced at $1.38, with a 24h change of +1.43% and a 7d change of -9.34%.
Telegram widens access to its Money wallet
On Friday, October 9, Telegram made its built-in non-custodial wallet available to a much larger audience inside the messaging app. The product, previously known as Gram Wallet, is now called Money, while the older Wallet service operates separately under the Walt brand. Previously limited to select users, Money is now available to Telegram's entire user base of over 1 billion people.
Users can hold and send GRAM from the app, and they can also use the wallet to buy gifts and collectible usernames. Users can top up balances from Walt accounts with instant, fee-free transfers. Walt said these transfers are instant and come with zero network fees.
Reporting has not settled every question. The supplied information does not confirm that every Telegram user already has access to the wallet. Figures such as the number of activated wallets, transaction volumes, geographic availability remain undisclosed.
Token reaction and market metrics
The announcement lifted the token. Gram (GRAM) rose 9% to $1.56 after Telegram expanded access to Money, its non-custodial wallet. Other outlets reported a smaller move. Gram (GRAM) climbed 8.7% on Friday, October 9, 2026, as Telegram expanded access to its Money wallet to more users across its messaging platform. The discrepancy likely reflects different measurement times. Market cap reached $4.12 billion, and 24-hour trading volume rose 41% to $132.4 million.
Background: the rebrand and roadmap
The wallet news follows the token's renaming. On June 15, 2026, the token formerly known as Toncoin was officially renamed Gram, and its ticker changed from TON to $GRAM after a community vote passed with 81.22% support. The rebrand changes the native asset ticker from $TON to $GRAM, while the underlying blockchain and network name remain TON.
Founder Pavel Durov's roadmap is also advancing. Durov's Make TON Great Again roadmap has now revealed four of the seven planned steps, with Telegram already operating as the network's largest validator and transaction fees cut by 6x.
