Telegram will hold the second closed round of TON tokens pre-sale

Telegram sent invitations to investors for the second round of a closed pre-sale of TON tokens. Despite the fact that the exact amount is not disclosed, according to some information this time the campaign organizers expect to collect an amount that is not inferior to the amount collected at the first stage of the placement, namely 850 million dollars. As a result, even before the start of public sales, which was planned on March, Telegram can attract $ 1.7 billion of investments for the implementation of its project - the Telegram Open Network (TON) platform.

Crypto community is actively discussing discounts on pre-sales, which are rumored to be from 30 to 80%. Some participants are unhappy with the behavior of the company, which violates the "spirit of the blockchain movement" by organizing secret rounds of selling its tokens.

It is known that the amount of preliminary applications for the placement of Telegram tokens exceeded 3.8 billion dollars. 81 accredited investors took part in the first round of the preseason, among them the founder of "Qiwi" Sergey Solonin. Russian media claim to participate in the preliminary sales of the oligarch Roman Abramovich.
