The price of TON has increased by 20% following Durov's departure from France

The departure of the Telegram messenger's creator, Pavel Durov, from France has impacted the value of the Toncoin (TON) token. This information is provided by the CoinGlass platform.

Durov, who is under the supervision of French law enforcement, was allowed to leave for Dubai for a couple of weeks. Following this news, the Toncoin (TON) token, associated with him, has increased in value by 20%. The volume of liquidations on futures for the asset exceeded $2.75 million. About $700,000 of liquidations were in short positions, while $2 million were in long positions.

Recall that the Telegram founder was detained at Le Bourget airport at the end of the summer of 2024. The French authorities accused the businessman of complicity in drug and porn distribution, as well as the refusal of the messenger's team to provide information at the request of law enforcement.
