USDt-TON Expansion and YouTube Blockage
In April 2024, 900 million Telegram users gained access to USDt on the TON blockchain, leading to rapid integrations with top global services. Key updates include:
- Bit2Me: Leading Spanish exchange now supports USDt on TON, offering low trading fees for European users.
- Transak: Launched Transak Stream for easy conversions between USDt-TON and fiat.
- Fireblocks: Integrated USDt-TON for client fund management and announced a grant program for TON integrations. More details available on Fireblocks.
- NovaDAX: Major Brazilian exchange adds USDt-TON support, facilitating quick transactions for Latin American users.
Meanwhile, new restrictions have been placed on YouTube in Russia, significantly dropping traffic. The government had been contemplating this move since early in the war, with the decision being formally executed this December. Key details include:
- President Putin's administration has planned for years to block YouTube but delayed due to its vast user base of 96 million.
- Recent meetings indicate strong governmental push with VK positioning as a potential alternative.
