According to U.Today, Telegram founder Pavel Durov stated on X that Gram rose 8% amid the crypto market downturn and expressed his belief that it is poised to break into the top three by market capitalization. The report also cited a CoinGecko snapshot at the time, showing that Gram was up about 4.5% over the past 24 hours, with a market cap of approximately $3.28 billion and ranking 29th. The observation times or statistical windows for the two figures were not explicitly aligned, meaning the 8% increase cannot be written as the 24-hour gain at the time of the report, while entering the top three by market cap remains Durov's personal projection.
