But it seems that on this occasion, Changpeng Zhao (‘CZ’) decided to skip the introduction.

The first public sale for Telegram’s native cryptocurrency is set to take place next Wednesday, allowing users of the messaging platform to purchase GRAM tokens for the first time.

The token sale will take place on Liquid, an Asia-focused cryptocurrency platform, beginning at 08:00 UTC on July 10th. After registering with Liquid, participants will be able to purchase GRAMs with USD and USDC at an asking price of $4 per token.

There will be no maximum contribution, and investors in Japan and the USA will not be able to participate.
