The Open Network is planning to rename its Toncoin (TON) cryptocurrency to Gram — the original name used in the network's 2018 whitepaper — sending the token surging more than 15% from approximately $1.95 to above $2.25 in late Monday trading. The token has since pulled back to around $2.07 as of Tuesday morning."Gram was the original name of TON's currency in the first white paper," Telegram and TON founder Pavel Durov posted on Telegram. "We're returning to our roots — and starting a new chapter."A name with historyThe rebrand to Gram is not arbitrary — it is a deliberate revival of the token's original identity. Telegram launched the TON project in 2018 with Gram as the currency name, but was forced to abandon it after the US Securities and Exchange Commission blocked the network's $1.7 billion initial coin offering in 2020, threatening legal action that ultimately caused Telegram to withdraw from the project entirely. The project was later revived independently as The Open Network before Telegram re-engaged as the network's primary driver and largest validator in May 2026.Reclaiming the Gram name is therefore both a symbolic homecoming and a statement of confidence — the project that the SEC once halted is now large enough, legitimized enough, and strategically positioned enough to restore its original identity without fear of regulatory interference.No token swap requiredThe Open Network launched a community vote on the rebrand proposal Monday, and the technical structure of the transition is deliberately simple. There is no swap, migration, bridge, claim, or conversion required. Every balance, address, contract, and position stays exactly as it currently is. The change is purely cosmetic at the smart contract level — the token ticker and name update, the underlying infrastructure does not.At the time of writing, approximately 1.8 million TON — nearly 80% of votes cast — were pledged in favor of the rebrand. The transition is expected to take around three weeks.Part of the "Make TON Great Again" roadmapThe rebrand is the fourth stage of Durov's "Make TON Great Again" roadmap. The first three stages delivered earlier in 2026 included an upgrade to Catchain in April to boost blockchain speed to sub-second finality, a reduction in transaction fees, and Telegram's formal takeover as the network's primary validator. The rebrand follows those infrastructure improvements as a public-facing milestone."These changes mark a milestone for the network — and a natural moment to refresh how the token is known publicly," TON stated.The endgame of the roadmap is ambitious: to power a seamless Web3 super app experience inside Telegram for its one billion users, turning the messaging platform into a global infrastructure layer for payments, mini-apps, digital ownership, AI agent interactions, and more. With Telegram already hosting hundreds of mini-apps and having integrated TON-based payments, the rebrand to Gram is designed to make that infrastructure feel more native and consumer-friendly as adoption scales.Context: still 75% below all-time highsDespite the 15% surge on the announcement, Gram — or TON as it remains at the time of writing — is still down approximately 75% from its June 2024 all-time high of $8.25 according to CoinGecko. The token's Monday move stands out in a broader crypto market that has been under significant pressure, with Bitcoin falling to two-month lows near $70,000 and most altcoins declining alongside it.The rebrand provides a specific narrative catalyst at a moment when the broader market has few positive stories — and for a token tied to Telegram's one billion user base, the combination of infrastructure upgrades and a revived original identity may attract both retail and institutional attention that the project has struggled to sustain since its 2024 peak.

Bitcoin fell to $70,023 on Coinbase on Tuesday — its lowest level since April 7 — as the cryptocurrency continues to move in the opposite direction from traditional equity markets. The S&P 500 hit a record high of just over 7,600 points on Monday while the Nasdaq peaked above 27,000. Bitcoin, meanwhile, is down more than 4% on the day, 8% on the week, and 44% from its October all-time high of $126,000.The divergence between crypto and equities has now become, in the words of analytics platform Santiment, "increasingly difficult for traders to ignore."The numbers behind the gapThe scale of the divergence is striking. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are at all-time highs, powered by an AI trade that has seen 41 AI-related stocks surge more than 45% since late February. Bitcoin has fallen from $83,000 to $70,000 over the same period — a 15% decline against equities' double-digit gains. The Goldman Sachs ex-AI index is essentially flat over the same period, meaning the divergence is not between crypto and the broad economy but specifically between crypto and the AI theme that is concentrating an unprecedented share of institutional capital.Andri Fauzan Adziima, research lead at Bitrue Research Institute, framed the divergence clearly. "It shows Bitcoin is trading more like a high-beta risk asset tied to macro sentiment rather than an independent hedge," he said. "This gap highlights current weakness, but it also sets up potential for stronger relative performance once macro conditions improve. I view it as a temporary phase in the cycle, not a permanent shift."Santiment: a self-reinforcing cycle with a contrarian twistSantiment described the equity-crypto gap as creating a "self-reinforcing cycle." When traders consistently see equities generating better returns with lower volatility than crypto, capital rotates away from digital assets and into stock markets — which then performs even better relative to crypto, attracting more rotation, and so on. The cycle feeds itself until something breaks it.But Santiment also offered the contrarian read. The platform noted that when mainstream commentators and influencers begin widely discussing stock dominance over crypto — as is clearly happening now — it is often a signal that the crowd has leaned too far into "equity FOMO and crypto FUD." Markets historically move opposite to the majority of traders' expectations. The louder the consensus that stocks will keep beating crypto, the closer the market may be to reversing that relationship.The same framework applies to Bitcoin's social sentiment reaching its most bullish level of 2026 at a 2.23 bullish-to-bearish ratio even as prices fell — a reading Santiment itself flagged as a contrarian warning. The crowd is simultaneously bullish on Bitcoin price and bearish on Bitcoin relative to equities. Both extreme readings have historically resolved in unexpected directions.The 200-week EMA: a critical technical levelBitcoin is now approaching a long-term technical level that has historically provided significant support: the 200-week exponential moving average, currently sitting around $69,000. This level has functioned as major support during prior bear market cycles — a zone where longer-term accumulation typically absorbs selling pressure and stabilizes price.A clean hold above $69,000 would be technically constructive, suggesting the current correction is finding its floor at a historically meaningful level. A break below would bring the $63,000 zone — a more sustained support area than February's momentary $60,000 wick — into focus as the next meaningful test.Bitcoin: the only major asset in contractionAdziima noted that some analysts have highlighted Bitcoin's unique position as the only major asset currently in contraction. While equities, gold, oil, and AI stocks are all trading at or near elevated levels — driven by different combinations of AI optimism, geopolitical risk premiums, and macroeconomic resilience — Bitcoin is declining. That isolation makes it difficult to attribute the weakness to broad risk-off sentiment, pointing instead to crypto-specific structural headwinds: the record ETF outflow streak, Strategy's first Bitcoin sale in four years, whale distribution at the fastest pace this cycle, and the institutional capital rotation into AI infrastructure.The structural bull case — CLARITY Act progress, Japan's LDP crypto ETF proposal, BlackRock's tokenization expansion, and the potential Iran peace deal resolution — remains intact but deferred. Until one of those catalysts materializes into actual capital inflows, the equity-crypto divergence and the approach of the $69,000 200-week EMA are the most important near-term dynamics to watch.

D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria has upgraded Nvidia to a buy rating, setting a price target of $300. According to NS3.AI, Luria's shift in stance comes after years of skepticism towards the company. He noted that Nvidia has successfully navigated potential shortages in advanced packaging and high-bandwidth memory, which has contributed to its favorable outlook.
