None other than Pavel Durov, the Telegram überlord, who’s decided to swoop in and take over the TON Foundation like a blockchain Batman. “Tech superiority,” he says. “MTONGA,” he whispers.

Open interest, funding rates, taker volumes, and price behavior are all doing a merry jig, suggesting things are looking up-or at least sideways, which is better than down, I suppose.

The Justice Department said the court also ordered three years of supervised release and $2.5 million in restitution.
