🔐 12. Telegram Launches Email Authorization and P2P Login for Russia
Telegram added a new authorization method via email and began rolling out in Russia the function of sending SMS codes at users' expense through the Peer-to-Peer Login Program. This will simplify authorization for Russians under conditions of SMS and call blocking. Telegram also began sending authorization codes via WhatsApp amid the blocks.
➡️ This is critically important for maintaining Telegram's accessibility in Russia, where regulators are actively restricting the messenger's operation, and demonstrates the platform's readiness to adapt to local restrictions.
📊 13. Early Miner Transfers 700,000 TON from Believers Fund to ByBit
An early miner transferred over 700,000 TON from Believers Fund to ByBit. Coins from the first unlock were collected into one wallet from multiple addresses with similar transaction patterns. On average, each of these wallets was topped up with 1M TON in 2023. With high probability, the coins will not be sold directly into the exchange order book but will find their end buyer among institutional clients.
➡️ This demonstrates that large TON holders prefer to work through OTC deals with institutional clients rather than selling directly on the exchange, which reduces price pressure.
