Telegram Will Launch Its Gram Cryptocurrency By October 31 Or Bust

Telegram's cryptocurrency -- the Gram -- may be going public after all. The encrypted messaging app company plans to deliver "the first batches" of the coin in the next two months, according to a report at The New York Times.

But if you have, you've probably heard a rumor that Telegram has a hard deadline to make it happen: if it doesn't deliver by October 31st, it legally forfeits the $1.7 billion it raised to make those coins a reality. That October 31st deadline is real, according to legal documents reviewed by the Times, so the company's trying to make those coins real, too, and as quickly as possible.
