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?🤷♂️
