Big news for Telegram + crypto users! The TON Foundation, the team behind Telegram's blockchain, just welcomed Nikola Plecas, ex-head of crypto at Visa Europe, as VP of Payments.

Here’s what this means for you:

💼 Visa expertise joins $TON

With his background in crypto payments and regulation, Plecas is here to make crypto-to-fiat smoother and more secure.

📲 Easier crypto payments in Telegram

Soon, you’ll be able to trade Toncoin and make small payments for games and social features in just a few taps.
