According to Mars Finance, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov wrote yesterday: "Technology blogger Pavel Fedorov sold his username @pavel on the Fragment auction platform and earned more than $80,000 in TON tokens. As an early user of Telegram, Fedorov obtained the username @pavel for free 9 years ago. He auctioned it a week ago. After fierce bidding, @founder, a cryptocurrency entrepreneur who owns multiple Telegram accounts including @crypto, won the auction. And @founder gave me the username @pavel earlier today." Du Rove said this shows how Telegram users benefit from direct ownership of their usernames.
$350 million worth of Telegram usernames and anonymous numbers have been sold in the past 18 months. The latest version of Telegram allows you to see when and how much a username was sold. In addition, he has purchased the username @paul on Fragment for 10,000 TON.
