]]>French investigators have formally lifted all travel restrictions imposed on Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov, marking the latest development in a high-profile criminal probe tied to the messaging platform’s content moderation practices. The decision, dated November 10, removes the ban on leaving France and ends a requirement that Durov report to police in Nice twice weekly.
Durov, who was born in Russia and became a French citizen in 2021, had been under judicial supervision since August 2024 after being detained at Paris-Le Bourget Airport. French prosecutors charged him with complicity in organized crime, alleging that Telegram allowed criminal groups to exploit its encrypted platform for illicit activities.
In June 2025, authorities partially eased the measures, permitting Durov to travel to Dubai, where he has resided in recent years. According to a Bloomberg report, Durov fully complied with all terms of supervision over the past year, leading to the latest lifting of restrictions.
Durov, has consistently denied wrongdoing, asserting that Telegram complies with all European Union legal requirements, including the Digital Services Act. During questioning in December 2024, he acknowledged awareness of the severity of the allegations but insisted that Telegram was not created for criminals. He pledged to strengthen moderation systems to address illegal content.
Durov recently announced the launch of Cocoon, a decentralized AI network on the TON blockchain, built to provide access to AI tools free from government oversight.
Despite the lifted restrictions, Durov remains under formal investigation in France according to local reports from Paris-based news agency Le Parisien. His lawyers have filed multiple legal motions, including a request to change his status to a lesser degree of judicial suspicion. They have also submitted an appeal to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), challenging the procedural basis of the charges.

price fell 2.94% to $1.95 on November 14, retreating from an intraday high of $2.01 as bearish momentum continues to pressure the market. The correction follows a rejection near the $2.36 resistance, where sellers have repeatedly capped upside attempts since early November.

The Donchian Channel (DC) shows TON trading near its lower band at $1.79, signaling weakening demand as bulls struggle to defend short-term supports. The upper boundary at $2.36 remains the key breakout threshold that could revive momentum toward $2.60 if reclaimed.
Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 36.99, just below neutral territory, suggesting a mild bearish bias but also proximity to oversold conditions.
If buyers hold above the $1.79 low, a rebound toward $2.07 and later $2.36 remains possible as markets consolidate. However, failure to defend the $1.80 support could trigger deeper decline toward $1.60.
As positive sentiment grows around Telegram founder’s legal developments with French authorities, early-stage projects like PEPENODE are receiving speculative demand.
Pepe Node allows users to own virtual meme coin mining rigs, combine nodes for higher yields, and earn bonus rewards from network participation.

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov announced the launch of Cocoon, a decentralized artificial intelligence network built on the TON blockchain, during his keynote at Blockchain Life 2025 in Dubai. In his speech, Durov emphasized the need to support digital freedoms and the right to privacy, setting the foundation for Cocoon’s core mission.
The network introduces a privacy-first model for decentralized AI inference, allowing application developers to compensate GPU owners with TON tokens for computing power. As a demonstration of confidence in the technology, Telegram will serve as Cocoon’s first customer, leveraging the network for confidential AI queries across its vast user base.
“It is a decentralized AI network built on top of TON where owners of hardware can make their GPU available and be rewarded with TON,” said Pavel Durov during the event.
Durov added that Telegram plans to invest heavily in promoting Cocoon through its channels and user communities, aligning with its broader vision to merge blockchain transparency with secure, high-performance AI systems.
Following Durov’s announcement, AlphaTON Capital (NASDAQ: ATON) issued a press release, revealing plans to make a substantial investment in GPU and data center infrastructure to power Cocoon’s decentralized AI network.
The company said it will deploy high-memory GPU clusters optimized for AI inference workloads across strategically located data centers to ensure low-latency and high-throughput performance.
Cocoon’s architecture allows GPU owners to earn TON tokens for providing computational capacity, a model designed to democratize AI access while maintaining user data confidentiality. AlphaTON Capital’s participation reinforces its commitment to the TON and Telegram ecosystems.
“The launch of Cocoon marks a pivotal moment in the convergence of blockchain, data protection, and artificial intelligence. Our investment in enterprise-grade GPU infrastructure ensures Cocoon has the capacity to serve Telegram and other AI applications from day one,” said Brittany Kaiser, CEO of AlphaTON Capital.
The Cocoon network is scheduled to launch in November 2025, following developer and GPU provider onboarding. As Telegram’s decentralized AI ambitions take shape, Cocoon could redefine how data privacy and computation are managed across Web3-based machine intelligence networks.
