    Viettel Money and Telcoin Hold Exploratory Discussions at MWC 2026 on Blockchain-Based Cross-Border Payments

    Viettel Money and Telcoin Hold Exploratory Discussions at MWC 2026 on Blockchain-Based Cross-Border Payments During Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona (March 2–5), representatives from Viettel Money, the digital financial services arm of Vietnam’s Viettel Group, met with Telcoin, a U.S.-based fintech holding a digital asset bank charter from the state of Nebraska. According to Viettel’s official post-event summary, the meeting was led by Võ Anh Tâm, Deputy General Director of Viettel Digital Services. The discussion focused on potential cooperation opportunities in international payments, including the use of blockchain infrastructure and stablecoins to improve speed, cost, and accessibility. Key points from the recap include: - Exchange of views on blockchain-based international payment models - Exploration of stablecoin integration possibilities (Telcoin currently operates eUSD, a 1:1 USD-pegged stablecoin issued by Telcoin Digital Asset Bank and live on Ethereum and Polygon) - Recognition of Viettel’s extensive telecommunications network and customer base across more than 10 countries in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America as a potential foundation for advanced digital payment solutions Võ Anh Tâm described the conversation as a “natural step forward” in Viettel’s global digital financial services strategy. No agreements, partnerships, pilots, or formalized commitments have been publicly announced by either party. The meeting was exploratory in nature, consistent with high-level industry discussions that commonly occur at MWC. This engagement highlights ongoing interest in regulated blockchain solutions for cross-border payments, particularly in markets with high remittance volumes and significant mobile network reach. Viettel Money serves one of the world’s fastest-growing digital payment markets in Vietnam, while Telcoin has developed blockchain infrastructure tailored for mobile network operators to enable financial services via mobile devices. Further developments, if any, will be communicated through official channels of Viettel Money and Telcoin.

    TEL Listed on Kraken: Telecom Blockchain Standard Gains Access to Global Crypto Markets

    TEL Listed on Kraken, Expanding Access Ahead of Telcoin Network Launch Telcoin’s native token, TEL, has been listed on Kraken, one of the world’s largest and most established cryptocurrency exchanges, marking a notable step forward for the ecosystem as it moves closer to mainnet. Kraken serves over 13 million users across 190+ countries, meaning the listing significantly expands global access to TEL through a regulated trading platform with strong presence across the US, UK, and Europe. Broader Access and Liquidity for TEL With the listing now live, users can buy, sell, and hold TEL directly on Kraken, with trading available against USD and EUR. Deposits and withdrawals are supported via the Polygon network, maintaining compatibility with existing TEL infrastructure. For the Telcoin ecosystem, this move strengthens both liquidity and accessibility, making it easier for new users and institutions to gain exposure. A Convergence of Regulated Platforms The listing also highlights a growing alignment between regulated crypto infrastructure and Telcoin’s broader vision. Kraken has long positioned itself as a compliance-first exchange, holding multiple regulatory approvals and notably becoming the first crypto company to secure a U.S. bank charter. At the same time, Telcoin has been advancing its own regulatory strategy. Its subsidiary, Telcoin Digital Asset Bank, recently received the first Digital Asset Depository Institution charter in the United States, followed by the launch of eUSD, a bank-issued stablecoin. Together, these developments point toward a shared direction: bridging traditional finance and blockchain through compliant, scalable infrastructure. Timing Ahead of Mainnet The Kraken listing arrives at a key moment, as the Telcoin Network prepares for its mainnet launch in 2026. With mobile network operators expected to come online as validators across multiple regions, increasing exchange availability now helps: Improve market liquidity Expand global awareness Position the ecosystem for broader participation at launch Why It Matters While exchange listings are often seen as routine milestones, this one carries added weight given Telcoin’s focus on telecom-driven blockchain infrastructure. By aligning mobile operators around a shared network and token, Telcoin is aiming to connect billions of mobile users to blockchain-based financial services — something that requires both regulatory alignment and accessible market infrastructure. Listings on established exchanges like Kraken play a key role in that transition from development to real-world usage. Source: Official announcement from Telcoin Association

    Telcoin Makes U.S. Banking History with Approval to Launch the First Regulated Digital Asset Bank

    NORFOLK, Neb. — Telcoin has received final charter approval from the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance to launch Telcoin Digital Asset Bank, the first Digital Asset Depository Institution in the United States. This makes Telcoin the first regulated blockchain bank, bridging traditional banking and decentralized finance (DeFi). The bank’s flagship product, eUSD, will be the first U.S. bank-issued on-chain dollar stablecoin, fully backed by U.S. dollar deposits and short-term Treasuries. eUSD offers consumers and businesses a secure, transparent, and compliant way to use Digital Cash for payments, remittances, and savings. “Our charter makes history—not just for Telcoin, but for the entire U.S. banking system,” said Paul Neuner, Telcoin Founder and CEO. “We’re proving that a bank can responsibly issue on-chain Digital Cash and operate in full alignment with regulators.” The approval coincides with the new GENIUS Act, which establishes federal guidance for digital assets and stablecoins. Unlike non-bank stablecoin issuers, Telcoin’s model integrates directly with the U.S. banking system, addressing systemic risk concerns while enabling access to blockchain-powered finance. Telcoin Digital Asset Bank also aims to help community banks nationwide connect safely to blockchain finance, strengthening their services and relevance in the digital era. By aligning digital assets within a regulated framework, Telcoin is modernizing payments, empowering small businesses, and setting a new standard for how blockchain and banking can work together. With operations across 171 countries, Telcoin continues to redefine global finance—securely, compliantly, and at the speed of the internet. Learn more at www.telco.in

    Telcoin Association Completes 5 Billion TEL Escrow with Anchorage Digital and BitGo

    The final tranche of tokens under TELIP: Banking the Internet of Money has been deposited, marking a key milestone in Telcoin governance. The Telcoin Association has now completed the escrow of 5 billion TEL tokens, as outlined in TELIP: Banking the Internet of Money. The remaining tokens have been placed in secure custody with Anchorage Digital and BitGo, two regulated digital-asset custodians. This marks the fulfilment of the process defined in the proposal, which was authored by Paul Neuner (CEO of Telcoin Holdings Pte Ltd) and approved in August 2025. The initiative converts dormant treasury assets into productive capital to support the launch and global expansion of Telcoin’s Digital Asset Bank. Under the terms of the TELIP, the 5 billion TEL serve as collateral to secure equity financing for Telcoin Holdings and its subsidiaries. In return, the Association receives a 5% annual yield via SAFE notes, dedicated digital-asset banking services for the ecosystem, and enhanced commercial tools for validators, developers, and users. The completion of this escrow represents a major governance milestone and a step toward Telcoin’s broader vision of connecting traditional banking and blockchain finance. According to the proposal, the tokens are expected to return to the Association within two years, following the completion of financing milestones and bank capitalization. This development strengthens the foundation for the upcoming launch of Telcoin Bank and the introduction of regulated digital-cash stablecoins such as eUSD, eJPY, and eGBP, building toward a unified financial system for billions of mobile users worldwide.
