 <p class="paragraph">Tether, the company behind the $108 billion market cap USDT, has expanded its offerings on Telegram’s The Open Network (TON), introducing its U.S. dollar-pegged USDT and the gold-pegged Tether Gold (XAUT) stablecoins.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">CEO Paolo Ardoino, speaking at Dubai’s Token2049 event, announced this strategic expansion into Telegram’s Web3 ecosystem, aiming to revolutionize peer-to-peer payments and integrate seamless financial services for its over 900 million monthly active users.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Telegram, a privacy-focused messaging app, has recently embraced TON—a blockchain initially developed by Telegram and now operated independently. The platform has made a significant shift from using euros to Toncoin, TON’s native <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="token" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/token.html">token</a>, by integrating it into Telegram’s ad buy and revenue-sharing programs, as the company announced.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Recently, Tether faced criticisms about “unbaked” printing of $1 billion in USDT, minted for “inventor replenish,” in Paolo Ardoino words.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-financial-innovations-and-market-impact">Financial innovations and market impact</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Interestingly, Tether’s transparency report revealed an authorization of $10 million worth of USDT on the TON blockchain, with $3 million already issued, signifying a strong start.</p>
