Telegram’s t.me short-link domain has stopped resolving in web browsers worldwide after receiving a serverHold status at the .ME domain registry level. As a result, links to Telegram channels, groups, posts, and profiles using the t.me format may fail to open in browsers.
According to early reports, the issue appears to stem from the .ME registry, which manages Montenegro’s country-code domain, rather than Telegram itself. The Telegram app continues to function normally, and t.me links may still open from within the app. Telegram has not yet issued an official statement on the disruption.

Meta has added USDC stablecoin payments for Meta ads, allowing advertisers to pay for their advertising using supported third-party cryptocurrency wallets.
The company supports stablecoin wallets that use USDC, including MetaMask, Coinbase and Binance. When advertisers pay with USDC, a third-party payment partner converts the stablecoin into local currency and settles the payment with Meta, which then credits the advertiser’s ad account.
Meta also allows creators to receive cryptocurrency through its creator monetization system. The company clarified that it does not issue, sell or custody stablecoins, instead working with third-party payment providers.
