According to multiple sources, Telegram has sold a total of 2.9 billion Gram tokens at a discounted price to the first 171 buyers worldwide. Of which, more than 1 billion Grams has been sold to US investors. However, many allege that Telegram did not register with the SEC for the process of opening and selling tokens.
