The Chinese report that Durov banned their usernames without any reason, which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars

Also, according to the Telegram security service, things are not so clear-cut; these users were involved in something.

⚠️ UPD:

These users were used to guarantee transactions, and this is most likely the reason for the blocking.

😎 Pavel Durov mentioned NFT usernames during his speech at the Oslo Freedom Forum.

🗣 In his speech, he spoke about the fight for freedom, the restrictions and regulations imposed by governments, and the challenges he faced as the founder of the second most popular messaging app in the world.

🏴‍☠️ Among other things, Durov highlighted that Telegram is the first app to allow users to tokenize usernames, thereby protecting their digital identity:

For example, we are probably the only popular app that allows users to tokenize their usernames and directly own them through blockchain.
This way, no one — not even us at Telegram — can take away their digital identity.

TON strengthens its team, Telegram attracts $1.5B 💸

A new face joins the TON Foundation: Nikola Plecas, former head of crypto at Visa. He’ll now be shaping the global payment strategy for TON and Telegram.
Rumor has it, he’s supposed to bridge fiat and crypto—maybe so your grandma can send you a couple of TON from her pension. 💱

Telegram is preparing to raise $1.5 billion through bonds at 9% interest. According to the WSJ, potential investors include BlackRock, Mubadala, and Citadel. That’s big. 😎

Meanwhile, Durov writes:
🇦🇪 I’ll be in Dubai the first week of June — good news ahead.

As for TON… well, it went up a bit. Not exactly a rally — since the funds aren’t directly tied to the token.
But hey, someone’s gotta pay for those parties in Dubai, right? 🤷‍♂️
