Telegram Bets Big on AI: $300M Grok Integration Deal With Musk’s xAI Sends TON Surging 16%

Messaging giant Telegram just placed a $300 million wager on AI—and the market’s already voting with its wallet. The platform inked a deal with Elon Musk’s xAI to bake Grok’s smarts into its chat interface, sparking an immediate 16% pump for Toncoin (TON).

The integration promises to supercharge Telegram’s 800M+ user base with Grok’s real-time data processing—think smarter search, snarkier chatbots, and (inevitably) more efficient crypto scams. Because what’s Web3 without a little chaos?

TON’s price spike reveals the real play here: messaging apps are the new battleground for AI dominance. Forget ’mobile-first’—we’re racing toward ’chat-native’ everything. Just don’t ask how they’ll monetize it beyond speculative token pumps.
