Telegram’s sudden delisting from Apple’s App Store disrupts crypto traders, triggering a decline in its linked GRAM token amid uncertainty.
Apple has removed Telegram from its App Store worldwide, blocking new downloads and updates while leaving existing installations functional. The move disrupts crypto traders who rely on the app for communication and trading, particularly within token communities and trading groups.
GRAM, the digital asset tied to Telegram’s ecosystem, fell modestly on the news, reflecting near-term uncertainty. The removal mirrors a brief 2018 incident but lacks clarity on duration or cause, as neither Apple nor Telegram has issued a statement.
While operational disruptions appear limited for now, a prolonged absence could pressure user growth and platform reliability on iOS, potentially weighing further on sentiment.
