Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov has finally returned to Dubai after spending months in France about an investigation into illegal activities in the messaging platform.
French authorities have placed Durov under judicial supervision since August 24, 2024. This required him to report twice a week to the police, post a €5M bail, and remain indefinitely in the country.
In a statement on Telegram, the United Arab Emirates citizen Durov said that the process is still ongoing but he’s happy to be home. He also thanked his lawyers and team, and the investigative judges for making the release possible.
The news sent $TON surging by over 20%, and this bodes well to other altcoins due to increased market hype and investor interest.
A Ton of Good News for $TON
The native coin of The Open Network (formerly known as ‘Telegram Open Network’) rose past the $3 mark on March 15 as a result of Durov’s release, a level not seen since early 2022.
The TON Foundation released a statement regarding Durov’s release, stating that it is delighted to learn of the news.
‘As part of the decentralized TON community, we have stood in solidarity with Pavel, supporting his unwavering dedication to defending the right to free speech and privacy online,’ the statement added.
This increased interest in outliers in the market will also benefit other tokens. Here are three of the best altcoins that are worth looking into.
1. Solaxy ($SOLX) – Making Solana Faster and More Reliable
Solaxy ($SOLX) is the first-ever Solana L2 blockchain that aims to unleash Solana’s full potential. It focuses on its ability to address common challenges with Solana, including network congestion, failed transactions, and limited scalability.
$SOLX is Solaxy’s native token that features multi-chain support on Ethereum and Solana, two of the largest and most active crypto ecosystems. This exponentially increases $SOLX’s potential buyer pool and utility.
The token is currently on presale, which allows buyers to purchase it at its current lowest price of $0.001666. It’s set to increase in a few hours, so it’s best to buy $SOLX as soon as possible (especially since it’s predicted to grow by 120x by the end of 2026).
You can also immediately stake $SOLX tokens you’ve purchased. This will allow you to earn rewards while supporting the network.

2. MIND of Pepe ($MIND) – Delivering Exclusive Crypto Insights with a Self-Evolving AI Agent
MIND of Pepe ($MIND) is a crypto project that will develop a self-evolving AI agent.
This will gather information on the latest crypto trends and opportunities, as well as shape market discussions. The data gathered will then be distilled and made exclusively available to holders of its native $MIND token.

3. Keeta ($KTA) – Bringing Faster and Cheaper Transactions to Blockchains and Payment Networks
Launched in early March, Keeta is a high-performance L1 blockchain that aims to unify transactions between various payment networks and blockchains.
It was founded back in 2022 by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and built with adherence to strict regulatory requirements in mind.
The platform is set to make transaction fees cheaper and faster. Compared to its competitors, which can only handle 100K transactions per second, Keeta claims to do 10M (a 390x compared to the fastest blockchain today, ICP).
The value of its native token $KTA has grown exponentially over the past week and broke the $0.1 mark today. Overall, the token has grown by 597% over the last seven days and by 182.6% in the last 24 hours.
$KTA tokens are already available in DEXs, including Aerodome, which is currently the most popular exchange for buying and trading Keeta’s native coin. From its launch price of around $0.0076, it’s currently priced at $0.1037, making it one of the hottest new crypto in the market.

Before You Invest…
$TON’s surge indicates the crypto market is far from dead. It’s alive and kicking, and waiting for a push to explode.
