โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„ Telegram is raising $1.7 billion in funding - and they're not even done!

#Telegram raised $850 million from 94 investors in March in addition to $850 million it gained in February. That's almost two whole unicorns in the largest #ICO (Initial Coin Offering) to date.

The company, founded by self-exiled Russian Pavel Durov, plans to use the ICO proceeds to develop the Telegram Open Network #blockchain, which includes the cryptocurrency #Gram.

Interest in the Telegram ICO has recently helped the company surpass the threshold of 200 million monthly active users, โ€œwith over 700,000 new users signing up each day.โ€

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russia orders immediate block of Telegram

A Russian court has ruled that #Telegram must be blocked in the country. The ruling follows months of battles between Telegram and Roskomnadzor, Russiaโ€™s telecommunications watchdog. Russiaโ€™s Federal Security Service (FSB) wants to access user data from Telegram through the sharing of encryption keys, but Telegram has refused to comply even after a court ruling.
