🚀 #TELEGRAM SUCCESSFULLY RAISED 1.7 BILLION USD THROUGH CONVERTIBLE BOND ISSUANCE – #BLACKROCK & #MUBADALA JOIN
One of the most noteworthy news in the crypto community last week was Telegram officially raising 1.7 billion USD successfully through the issuance of convertible bonds.
💼 Highlights:
Major investors participating in the funding round include BlackRock (the world's largest asset management firm) and Mubadala (the national investment fund of the UAE).
This capital will support the expansion of infrastructure and the development of the Telegram ecosystem, which includes The Open Network ($TON ) – the blockchain backed by Telegram.
📲 IMPACT ON TON:
TON is expected to be the primary blockchain platform for Web3 features integrated into Telegram, such as crypto wallets, mini apps, and cross-border payments.
Having support from top funds helps increase the credibility, liquidity, and long-term growth potential for TON.
Recently, the price of TON reacted positively, with a short-term upward trend following this news. However, the market also experienced some adjustments after the initial excitement subsided.
📈 Long-term vision:
Telegram has over 900 million global users, making it a great platform for TON to reach real users – which is rare in the blockchain world.
If Telegram continues to deeply integrate TON into the app, TON could become the first blockchain for “mass adoption.”
⚠️ Note: Although the news is very positive, investors should still be cautious when entering positions at price levels that have surged and wait for clearer trend confirmations.

The Mubadala Investment Company from Abu Dhabi has increased its stake in the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust, indicating a continued interest in cryptocurrencies from one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds.
According to a document submitted on May 15 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as of March 31, Mubadala owned 8.7 million shares of the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) valued at $408.5 million. This is an increase compared to 8.2 million shares at the end of 2024.
Despite the increase in the number of shares, the total value decreased from $436 million due to fluctuations in the price of IBIT, which, according to Yahoo Finance, was $58.86 at the close on May 15.
Investments in IBIT make up only a small portion of Mubadala's portfolio, which manages over $300 billion in assets. Nevertheless, this is one of the largest allocations in a bitcoin-$ETF ever made by a sovereign fund. Investing in the iShares Bitcoin Trust allows entities like Mubadala to gain exposure to bitcoin without the need to directly own the cryptocurrency.
This move could encourage other sovereign or institutional investment funds to reconsider their position on bitcoin, especially through instruments like IBIT, where the risk appears to be more manageable.
