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.

Netflix Co-CEO Rules Out App for Apple Vision Pro for Now

Published

on

Apple Vision Pro Netflix

Recently, pre-orders for the Apple Vision Pro were started. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst has reported sales of around 160,000 to 180,000 units of the Vision Pro. In context to the sales of Apple Vision Pro, Netflix Co-CEO Greg Peters revealed in an interview that there is no need for the Netflix app in Apple’s VR headset.

In that interview, Peters also defined that the number of subscribers can’t justify the attempts to port an app for a platform. In the future, there may be a Netflix app for Apple’s VR headset, but currently, Netflix is adopting a wait-and-see approach. For now, YouTube and Spotify have no plans for dedicated apps.

As we also mentioned in the recent post of the Apple Vision Pro, you can use the apps via the browser in the Vision Pro. Apple’s own Apple TV+ streaming services are available on the Apple Vision Pro, which features “Apple Immersive Video” with Spatial Audio and 180° 3D footage in 8K resolution.
