A time will come when Durov shifts Telegram's payments like star’s over to $GRAM.

He's repeatedly talked about near-zero transaction fees and micropayments, and that kind of emphasis usually signals an upcoming product use case for $GRAM, not just an infrastructure flex.

My take: Telegram's existing monetization stack such as Stars for bots and gifts, Premium subscriptions, creator payouts, ad revenue sharing eventually moves fully onto $GRAM.

That would give $GRAM real, sustained transactional demand instead of volume driven purely by speculation and hype.
