French prosecutors: Telegram CEO Durov arrested and detained in connection with cybercrime investigation

Odaily reported that the cryptocurrency investment firm Galaxy Digital has released a research report, which believes that the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov in France may only be the beginning of the tightening of regulations on social media platforms. The report points out that Durov's arrest may be related to Telegram's refusal to cooperate with the European or French government's requests for information deletion or provision. Alex Thorn, the head of research at Galaxy, said it is not yet clear whether the charges against Durov are related to the TON blockchain or the integration of Telegram and TON.

The report emphasizes that although the TON blockchain has more than 350 global validator nodes, the number of nodes actually controlled by Telegram is unclear, which raises doubts about TON's ability to withstand government crackdowns. Galaxy pointed out that the value of TON largely depends on its integration with Telegram. In the future, how blockchain projects can avoid being accused of assisting criminal activities may depend on their degree of decentralization. Although the French prosecutor stated that Durov may be released as early as this Wednesday, participants in the Polymarket prediction platform are not optimistic about this, and are more inclined to bet that he will be released before the end of September.
