Telegram's CEO legal issues have impacted the company's IPO prospects and investor confidence, leading to uncertainty in the market. Following Pavel Durov's arrest in France on criminal charges, Telegram bonds plummeted 10 points, reflecting the significant impact of the situation. The company's plans for an IPO have been disrupted due to accusations of failing to address criminal activities on its platform, further exacerbating the negative impact on investor confidence. This has resulted in a sharp drop in the prices of Telegram-based tokens, Toncoin and Notcoin, reflecting the unease in the market.
Telegram's plans for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the next two years have faced a setback due to criminal charges against its CEO, Pavel Durov. French authorities accused the company of failing to address criminal activities on its platform, including the publication of child sexual abuse material. Despite efforts to raise revenue ahead of a potential IPO by 2026, the company's 2023 financial statements revealed a revenue of $342 million last year but an operating loss of $108 million. The recent legal issues have negatively impacted investor confidence, with the price of Telegram’s bonds dropping nearly 10% and trading at around 87 cents on the dollar, yielding over 16%.
Furthermore, the legal battle and its potential impact on Telegram’s reputation could pose challenges for any future stock market listing. These legal issues have also affected the broader crypto market, particularly Telegram-based tokens. Toncoin and Notcoin have both experienced significant declines following Durov’s arrest, signaling the broader impact of these events on the cryptocurrency market.
