# Telegram Founder Durov Says GRAM Is the Only Crypto Built Into a Major Social Platform, “Ridiculously Undervalued”

Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov said GRAM, the native token of the TON blockchain, remains "ridiculously undervalued," calling it the only cryptocurrency built into a major social ecosystem. He argued that GRAM deserves a place among the top three cryptocurrencies by market capitalization and expressed confidence it would eventually get there. Despite a broader crypto market downturn, GRAM rose about 14% in 24 hours, while more than 1 million self-custodial Gram wallets were activated on Telegram over the preceding 48 hours, according to Durov.
