1. Binance Listing Status and Futures Details
Published 7/2/2026, 8:21:58 AM
The transition of $GRAM (formerly Toncoin/TON) to Binance spot trading on July 2, 2026, has initially triggered short-term hype and significant volatility rather than immediate sustainable volume. While the rebranding is supported by the massive Telegram ecosystem, the lack of an active Binance Futures contract and a sharp pre-listing price drop suggest the market is currently in a "sell-the-news" phase.
1. Binance Listing Status and Futures Details
As of July 2, 2026, at 08:00 UTC, Binance opened spot trading for $GRAM with USDT, USDC, and FDUSD pairs [Source: https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/binance-will-support-the-toncoin-ton-rebranding-to-gram-gram-0fe9758f92a54b02a7c1bcad8be8c9d0].
- Futures Gap: The previous TONUSDT Perpetual Contract was settled and removed on June 23, 2026 [Source: https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/binance-will-support-the-toncoin-ton-rebranding-to-gram-gram-0fe9758f92a54b02a7c1bcad8be8c9d0].
- Current Status: Binance has not yet announced a new GRAM futures contract. Historically, futures volume on Binance typically maintains a 5.1:1 ratio over spot volume [Source: https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/03/15/binance-futures-volume-analysis/]. Without this leverage, $GRAM may struggle to sustain the multi-billion dollar daily volumes seen by top-tier assets.
2. Market Performance and "The Binance Effect"
Historical data indicates that while Binance listings provide a massive visibility boost, they often lead to short-term price exhaustion.

3. Sustainability Outlook: Structural Factors
For $GRAM to move beyond short-term hype, it must leverage its technical and ecosystem advantages:
- Technical Upgrades: The network recently implemented a 6x reduction in gas fees, bringing transaction costs to approximately $0.0005 [Source: https://www.tradingview.com/news/coinpedia:862ab0e66094b:0-ton-blockchain-news-durov-confirms-6x-fee-cut-with-completely-feeless-transactions-next/].
- DeFi Momentum: STON.fi reported a 68% week-over-week increase in swap volume, reaching ~$64M in late June 2026 [Source: https://ston.fi/blog/weekly-roundup-june-2026].
- Telegram Integration: With nearly 1 billion users, Telegram's role as a network validator provides a unique fundamental floor that most "hype" tokens lack [Source: https://ston.fi/blog/weekly-roundup-june-2026].
Conclusion
The $GRAM listing currently reflects short-term hype, evidenced by the -51% pre-listing price drop and the absence of a futures market to provide deep liquidity. Sustainable volume will likely depend on the introduction of new Binance Futures contracts and the continued growth of on-chain DeFi activity, which has shown promising double-digit weekly growth leading up to the rebrand. Watch the $1.50 price level as a key indicator of whether the market can transition into a sustainable accumulation phase.
