Binance to Support Toncoin (TON) Rebranding to Gram (GRAM) with Automatic Token Swap

2 hour ago 4 sources neutral

Key takeaways:

  • The 81% vote for 'Gram' may spark speculative FOMO, though fundamentals remain unchanged.
  • Binance's full support contrasts with Hyperliquid's possible delisting, creating GRAM liquidity and arbitrage risks.
  • Reviving the Telegram-associated 'Gram' name may attract renewed SEC scrutiny, adding regulatory uncertainty.

Binance has officially announced its support for the rebranding of Toncoin (TON) to Gram (GRAM), initiating a fully automated 1:1 token conversion for all users. The move, disclosed on June 12, 2026, follows a community vote where 81.22% of TON holders opted to restore the project's original historical name.

The scheduled transition begins with the removal of all TON spot trading pairs on June 30, 2026, at 06:00 UTC. Affected pairs include TON/FDUSD, TON/IDR, TON/TRY, TON/U, TON/USD1, TON/USDC, and TON/USDT, and all open orders will be automatically cancelled. Deposits and withdrawals of TON will be suspended 30 minutes later, at 06:30 UTC on the same day.

Following the network name change—which takes effect on June 15—Binance will reopen deposits and withdrawals for the new GRAM token on July 2, 2026, at 10:00 UTC, with full trading going live one hour later at 11:00 UTC for the identical set of fiat and stablecoin pairs under the GRAM ticker.

Binance stressed that users need not take any technical actions, as all conversion processes will be handled automatically by the exchange’s systems. The rebranding marks a symbolic return to the project’s origins: originally conceived as the Telegram Open Network with the native token Gram, the ecosystem was forced to separate from Telegram in 2020 due to U.S. regulatory pressure, later evolving into The Open Network and Toncoin. While Binance is fully embracing the cosmetic change, other venues—such as the decentralized Hyperliquid platform—may vote on delisting TON, creating a patchwork of exchange responses.
