BREAKING: TELEGRAM CEO DUROV ANNOUNCES TELEGRAM TO REPLACE THE TON FOUNDATION AS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND TON AND TO BECOME ITS LARGEST VALIDATOR SOURCE

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov announced that Telegram will replace the TON Foundation as the primary driver behind the TON blockchain and will become its largest validator. This shift could impact the governance and operational dynamics of the TON ecosystem, potentially enhancing its credibility and user adoption. The market transmission mechanism here involves capital flows, as increased confidence in Telegram's backing may attract more investors and developers to the TON network. Cryptocurrencies and blockchain-related assets, particularly those associated with TON, are most exposed due to this development. Traders will be watching for any subsequent announcements regarding partnerships or technological advancements that could further solidify Telegram's role in the TON ecosystem.

HIGH-impact news is typically a market-moving event with multi-pip or multi-percent intraday reactions. Examples include central bank rate decisions, major CPI/NFP releases, geopolitical shocks, mega-cap earnings beats/misses, and regulatory announcements. Traders typically position-reduce or hedge ahead of scheduled HIGH-impact events, and follow the wire in real time to react to unscheduled ones (war headlines, central-bank emergency statements, surprise corporate actions). The Trading News Terminal squawk box reads every HIGH-impact headline aloud the moment it hits the wire — so active traders don't have to stare at the feed.

Active traders typically follow a three-step workflow when a market-moving headline hits the wire: (1) read the headline on the terminal or hear it on the squawk box; (2) assess whether the news is already priced in (by checking intraday price action in the seconds before) or whether it's genuinely new information; (3) act — either entering a breakout position, fading an overreaction, or tightening stops on existing trades. Trading News Terminal's Pro plan delivers wire-grade headlines within seconds of the source, with automatic audio squawk on every HIGH-impact event, so the read-assess-act cycle never waits on a refresh button.
