Both Crypto Economy and Crypto.news report that GRAM token gained 9% to reach $1.56 and that Telegram is expanding access to its non-custodial Money wallet. They agree on the wallet's functionalities, which include token transfers and digital collectible purchases. However, Crypto Economy provides additional context about The Open Platform's rebranding of Wallet to Walt and the segregation of advanced brokerage features, which is not mentioned by Crypto.news.
The GRAM token has experienced a 9% price increase, reaching $1.56, according to multiple outlets. This surge coincides with Telegram's announcement that it is expanding access to its non-custodial Money wallet. The wallet, which was previously available to a limited group of users, is now being made accessible to a broader audience.
The Money wallet is designed for direct token transfers and the purchase of digital collectibles, as reported by both Crypto Economy and Crypto.news. This move by Telegram is part of a larger trend of integrating crypto functionalities within mainstream messaging platforms, potentially driving wider adoption of digital asset transactions.
The Open Platform, the developer firm behind the wallet, had rebranded Wallet to Walt in September, as detailed by Crypto Economy. This rebranding was accompanied by the segregation of advanced brokerage features, indicating a strategic shift towards a more streamlined user experience.
The broader market context shows a relatively flat overall crypto market cap of $2.88 trillion, with 
Bitcoin up 0.39% in the last 24 hours. The Fear & Greed index stands at 61, indicating a state of 'Greed' among investors. Despite the positive news for GRAM, the token's current price of $1.44 reflects a slight 0.27% dip in the last 24 hours, though it has fallen 5.88% over the past week.
The development underscores the potential for increased crypto adoption through messaging platforms. Investors and users should watch for further updates on the rollout of the Money wallet and its impact on GRAM's market performance.

It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
Over the past 24 hours GRAM moved -0.6% while Bitcoin moved +0.3%. GRAM has historically moved about 0.84× Bitcoin, implying roughly +0.3% today — so this is roughly what its usual link to Bitcoin would predict.
