Telegram's integrated crypto wallet has introduced self-custodial 'Vaults,' enabling its 900 million users to earn yields on Bitcoin, Ether, and USDt. This move signals a major push into decentralized finance (DeFi) by embedding complex financial instruments directly into a mainstream messaging platform.
A panel of 21 industry experts surveyed by Finder predicts Bitcoin could reach $695,882 and Ether $21,000 by 2035. However, short-term caution prevails, with fewer than half of the experts recommending an immediate buy due to ongoing market volatility.
