- Grok AI has expanded to Telegram, accessible to premium users, marking its first move outside the X platform.
- Toncoin’s price has surged after the Grok integration, testing critical support levels and showing potential for further gains.
Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, has officially launched on Telegram, marking a significant expansion beyond its original platform, X (formerly Twitter). This was announced on March 26, as Telegram has just crossed the mark of 1 billion active users.

The growth has been meteoric, and Telegram is now the world’s third most popular messaging service after WhatsApp and WeChat from China. Pavel Durov, the founder of the messaging app, disclosed that Telegram currently has more than 1 billion monthly active users, making the application prominent.
Currently, the average user opens the app 21 times per day, which shows rapid growth in the level of activity compared to competitors. This has been in line with financial performance improvements, as Telegram recorded a profit of $547 million in 2024.
Another appealing factor is the fact that the platform it offers is not owned and operated by a large company like Facebook, which owns WhatsApp. Durov stated that Telegram has not lost its originality as most social media platforms do despite the expansion of this company. Such factors make Grok’s growth possible given that it targets to leverage the large number of users subscribed to Telegram.
Grok AI and Its Integration with Telegram
Grok’s decision to shift to Telegram is part of a larger plan to expand its availability through various messaging apps.v At the present time, the public can find Grok‘s functionalities at “GrokAI” on Telegram, but the current chatbot is premium only. While you can only use AI features such as “Think” or “DeepSearch”, available only for X or the Grok app, the ability to integrate with Telegram will potentially increase user activity and enhance the experience itself.
The adoption of Grok AI for Telegram can potentially be beneficial to the Toncoin (TON) ecosystem. This trend is in line with a wider trend in the AI space, where developers are extending beyond platform limits.
Toncoin Technical Analysis
Toncoin has been quite valuable in the market, particularly experiencing a 10% rise after Grok’s Telegram announcement. Today, Toncoin has reached $0.00393, an intraday high, surpassing the psychological $4 mark. This push takes Toncoin past the inverse head and shoulders’ neckline resistance of $3.88, indicating the potential for a further upward trajectory.
From the chart provided above, TON has been on an upward trend and is on the verge of support and resistance levels while adopting a position with a strongly positive RSI and a potential MACD bullish crossover. If Toncoin holds above this range, a break above $6 can occur, which will result in an increase of over 50% from the current rate.
