When you’re ready to send crypto, open the Wallet from your attachment menu while in a chat, enter the amount of Toncoin to send, confirm all the details, and then hit “Send.” Toncoin will be delivered to your recipient via chat.

Following pressure from the Securities and Exchange Commission, Telegram shut down its own cryptocurrency operation in 2020. (SEC). The project, formerly known as the Telegram Open Network (TON), was founded in 2018 by Telegram CEO Pavel Durov and his brother Nikolai. After failing to register the $1.7 billion in sales collected as part of its pre-Initial Coin Offering (ICO), the SEC ordered Telegram to halt sales of Gram, the token linked to the TON blockchain, a year later.

Even after Telegram abandoned the TON project, a group of developers renamed it The Open Network and rebranded Gram as Toncoin. Last December, Durov stated his support for the project, saying, “I’m proud that the technology we created is alive and evolving… TON is still years ahead of everything else in the blockchain realm.” The TON Foundation raised $1 billion in donations earlier this month.

Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has spoken out against big tech companies like Apple and Google. He says they both control the music streaming market and also compete in it. This he feels is not fair.

Daniel Ek talked to the Financial Times about this. He said it’s like Apple and Google are the referees of a game but they are also playing in it. He thinks this is wrong and not good for other companies trying to compete.

He also said these big companies make their own rules. This can hurt other companies trying to do business. They also have a lot of control over how many people use the internet. Daniel Ek thinks this is too much power.

Because of all this, Daniel Ek is asking the UK government to make a new law. This law will make sure that if a company is in charge of a market it can’t also compete in that market. This law is called the Digital Markets Competition and Consumers Bill (DMCC). It is now being made.
