Another record has been set in the world of digital assets. Telegram founder Pavel Durov revealed that the popular username @crypto received a staggering offer — $25 million. That’s over 2 trillion Uzbek soms, according to Peopletalk.
The owner of the @crypto handle bought it 2.5 years ago for $350,000, around the time the TON blockchain platform was launched. Today, this seemingly simple Telegram handle has turned into a real investment — its valuation is comparable to luxury real estate in central London or New York.
This event once again proves that digital assets — including NFTs, domains, and unique usernames — are gaining real economic value. Especially for those interested in blockchain and cryptocurrency, such names are increasingly becoming valuable digital brands.
Announcing this, Pavel Durov emphasized Telegram's approach to its users:
“Telegram is the only major social platform that treats its users as free individuals with inalienable rights,” he said.
According to Durov, this philosophy allows every user to fully control their digital assets, profile, and content — a feature that sets Telegram apart from other platforms.
