Telegram’s $1.5 Billion Bond Sale 

Platform is preparing to price its five-year bonds with a 9% yield. The company plans to use the proceeds to repurchase outstanding debt from bonds issued in 2021, which are due to mature this coming March. The Tech Firm has already repurchased around $400 million of those bonds in cash. 

This deal plays a critical role in Telegram’s growth strategy. The company is not only focused on instant messaging services but is also investing in innovative technologies like Web3 and blockchain. This bond sale will provide a robust source of funding for new projects. Moreover, growing fintech trends are increasing investor interest. The bond sale will also serve as significant financial backing for Telegram’s long-term growth ambitions.

Social media founder Pavel Durov has previously emphasized the importance of maintaining the company’s financial independence. Therefore, this financing move reflects Telegram’s determination to pursue sustainable growth. Durov is currently facing preliminary charges in France for allegedly refusing to cooperate in investigations into illegal activities. Both Durov and the platform deny the allegations. Released on bail, Durov is prohibited from leaving France without permission during the investigation. 

In a video statement during a conference held in Oslo on Tuesday, Durov said: 

“We’ve complied with all legal requests. That’s why we still don’t understand what we did wrong.” 

Additionally, in 2018, Telegram raised $1.7 billion through an ICO for its Open Network (TON) blockchain project. However, the SEC claimed it was an unregistered securities sale. As a result, The Tech Firm refunded $1.2 billion to investors in 2020 and paid an $18.5 million penalty.

On April 30, BlackRock filed to launch a DLT-powered share class for its $150 billion Treasury Trust Fund. These shares will record investor ownership on the blockchain as a mirrored ledger.

That same day, Libre announced a plan to tokenize $500 million worth of Telegram debt through a new product called the Telegram Bond Fund (TBF). The fund will be available to accredited investors and can be used as on-chain collateral.

However, the biggest announcement of the week came from Dubai, where MultiBank Group signed a $3 billion tokenization deal with UAE-based real estate giant MAG and blockchain provider Mavryk. This is considered the largest RWA tokenization initiative to date.

Everything Is Lining Up for Tokenization

Eric Piscini, CEO of Hashgraph, told:

“The recent surge isn’t random. It’s happening because everything’s lining up: regulation is getting clearer, the tech is faster and scalable, and major players are actually doing it — BlackRock is tokenizing funds, Citi is exploring digital custody, and Franklin Templeton is tokenizing money markets on public blockchains.”

Institutions like Franklin Templeton, Citi, and BlackRock have already begun issuing tokenized financial products on public blockchain networks.

Marcin Kazmierczak, co-founder of RedStone, said this is proof that tokenization is no longer just theory — it’s being applied in practice by market leaders. As confidence grows, more firms are expected to join in and contribute to innovation and capital flow.

Trump’s Crypto Stance and Softer Regulation Spark Momentum

In the U.S., Donald Trump’s pro-crypto administration has greatly accelerated the pace of tokenization. Trump has promised to “make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world.”

During the Biden era, the crypto industry faced an intense regulatory crackdown by the SEC and DOJ, causing many firms to withdraw from U.S. markets.

Since Trump’s victory, over a dozen enforcement actions have been paused or dropped. The DOJ also dissolved its dedicated crypto enforcement unit, signaling a softer, more favorable stance toward the sector.

Ethereum Still Dominates, But New Alternatives Are Rising

Ethereum remains the leading blockchain for RWA tokenization. According to RWA.xyz, Ethereum hosts over $4.9 billion in tokenized U.S. Treasuries, out of a total market size of $6.5 billion.

New chains are emerging with dedicated tokenization tools: Canton Network, Plume, and Ondo Chain are building ecosystems purpose-built for compliant digital asset issuance.

Expect Explosive Growth by 2030

Here’s what industry experts forecast:

• Piscini predicts 10% of global financial assets will be tokenized by 2030.
• Kazmierczak estimates the figure could reach 30%.
• STM.co projects the global RWA market will hit $30 to $50 trillion by decade’s end.
• A Tren Finance report says the current $185 billion market (including stablecoins) could grow 50x to $10 trillion.

The next five years could mark the golden era of tokenization.
