When mentioning collectible on their report, Telegram acknowledge that the company sell usernames and virtual phone numbers to their customers. The stats is extensive and show that TG have more than 950 million active users and the most active country in the app is India with the most downloads in a planetary scale.

The platform have more than the double of active users in Russia, more than four times in United States and more than 8 times the number of active users in France where it's CEO was arrested recently.

This is big as the platform is a leading app in many countries and even with the arrest of it's CEO in France (is free now after paying €5M in bail) didn't stop the growth of the platform. It records more than 5 million premium subscribers around the globe. In another stats, more than 53% of users have the average age from 25-44 years old; almost half a billion people worldwide downloaded the app in 2023 and more more stats.

I have no doubt that all this buzz around Telegram and his CEO arrest have seen a raising star and want to cut his legs. Overall, the App portfolio show up an immense 400 million dollars in crypto coming from their collectible sells and fee that grab from it's in-app wallet. Remember:
