DL News interviewed several VC representatives about the arrest of Telegram founder Durov. CoinFund partner Alex Felix said he has no regrets about his venture capital firm's investment in TON, whose fundamentals have not changed. "This controversy has greatly raised the profile of TON and has the potential to attract more users and developers to the ecosystem," said Joven Wu, head of business development at Ryze Labs. Shauli Rejwan, managing partner of Masterkey VC and an early investor in Toncoin, believes that despite news of Durov's arrest, TON may one day break away from Telegram more completely.
