Recently it became known that Telegram intends to hold a second round of fundraising among accredited investors. In addition, a refusal of a public ICO is allowed, but this is not exactly what the correct messenger users expect.
But it’s true, so far all ICOs have opened their doors to investors with any capital. There are several hundred dollars - welcome. What's wrong now?
It seems that Pavel is insured against non-professional investors who are easily served by market panic and other factors. They also tend to “drain” their tokens immediately after being added to the exchange. In the future, this situation may damage the project, which will lead to a collapse in value and scare off future users.
Pavel Durov decided to go the other way, setting a serious threshold for entry and putting it on the fact that large investors and funds would not speculate with tokens, but wait for the full launch of the project.
Yet while the information is not confirmed and not final. Perhaps Paul will change his mind to satisfy our appetite.
