A Judge from the Southern District of New York ordered messaging platform Telegram to hold back from releasing its gram cryptocurrency next month as originally planned, granting a request by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

In a preliminary injunction dated March 24, U.S. District Judge P. Kevin Castel, stated that the SEC had showed a plausible case that Telegram sold unregistered securities. The regulator originally filed a lawsuit against Telegram in October 2019, claiming the company violated federal law by raising nearly $2 billion in a 2018 token sale.
