This is Stephen E Arnold. Since the detainment of the Pavel Durov by French authorities, Telegram has ramped up its public disclosures about its crypto ambitions. In November 2024, Telegram linked itself publicly with Holders (a crypto services firm) and Visa, Inc. More information is available in a video is available on YouTube. Its title is “Visa: Building a Bridge between TON and Real World Use Cases.” It is at this url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhdXeybiG0I. The presenter is Nikola Plecas, who is identified as the senior director, global head of GTM & Product Commercialization, Visa Crypto. The “GTM” means “go to market.” In our lecture yesterday (December 11, 2024) for the CyberSocial Conference, we mentioned this tie up with crypto. By coincidence, the video was posted. We anticipate that this deal will ripen in 2025. Thank you.
