Rapper and vlogger Morgenshtern released a clip mentioning The Open Network (TON) and the Toncoin coin. In it, the musician sings that he “sold all his bitcoins and bought TON”.

Earlier, Morgenshtern backed the TON developers and said he sees his future in ‘metaverses, NFTs and the crypto world’. He also said that invested 10 million rubles in Toncoin.
\n\n
Earlier, the Toncoin developers were supported by Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram.
\n\n
In May 2020, Durov announced the closure of the Telegram Open Network project, developed by the Telegram team, due to a legal dispute with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
\n\n
Subsequently, several independent development teams continued to work on the blockchain based on the code. One of them was NewTON, which later renamed itself The Open Network.
\n\n
In August 2021, the Telegram team handed over the ton.org domain and the project’s GitHub repository.
