New documents filed by SEC in New York with additional details, stating the GRAM is indeed a security token. Even citing Shyam Parekh, a Telegram employee who told an accountant that "that the unnamed investor has the right to 72,835,916.68 Gram tokens". A bit messy to be honest, but let's see how Telegram will respond with all the allegations here.


I am sure that the outcome of this case will have bigger and far-reaching repercussions to the whole cryptocurrency industry as this can be the basis of future judiciary decisions on defining whether a token can be security or not. Telegram has the best opportunity to present all the legal arguments before the court that SEC is wrong on its conclusion that GRAM is a security token and therefore Telegram made legal mistakes in introducing such a digital asset to the public. Honestly, however, I am seeing that eventually the two sides on this legal maneuvering will be settling on a compromise.

I remember reading somewhere that some kind of legal nuance means their token can never be exchanged over, y'know, Telegram. That kind of erases whatever point or advantage there was in the first place.
