SEC vs TON: Lado Okhotnikov, CEO of Meta Force, on Issues of Dollar Hegemony in the Virtual Space
Lado Okhotnikov is the head of the Meta Force company. In his interview https://specificnews.co.uk/about-telegram-ton-and-metaverse-de-dollarization-lado-okhotnikov-meta-force/ he talks about a digital concentration camp imposed by the legislation of leading countries and prospects for integrating private cryptocurrencies into the financial architecture of virtual worlds.
The expert highly appreciates the marketing ploy of Pavel Durov (head of Telegram and founder of the TON blockchain). He raised payments for advertising placed on private subscriber channels to an extraordinary 50%. Half of the advertising revenue will be given to channel owners in the form of blockchain tokens.
People’s personal freedoms are continuously attacked by central banks and government regulators under the guise of fighting fraud. Mr. Okhotnikov examines this trend in relation to the growing IT tech giants that claim to protect the user rights. The expert considers the Telegram ecosystem with its growing audience to be one of the prominent examples
“To ensure fast and secure payments, Telegram is committed to using only the TON blockchain and its own Toncoin token. This will turn Pavel Durov’s ecosystem into a high-tech financial oasis, which will be protected from many risks of centralization and will attract a larger audience,” says Lado.
Analyzing numerous technological solutions implemented under Durov’s leadership, the expert points out their obvious advantages: low transaction costs, high confidentiality, convenient user interface, and much more.
One of the main advantages of the TON blockchain is its extremely high throughput. In October 2023 Pavel Durov’s team set an unprecedented performance record of more than 100 thousand transactions per second. This allowed TON to surpass not only its competitors among other blockchain networks like Solana, but also such mastodons of the payment industry as Visa and Mastercard.
Such achievements, however, threaten to turn into big troubles for the Telegram community, as they call into question the monopoly of government regulators on financial services.
“Durov’s initiatives aimed at monetizing data within a smoothly operating ecosystem will allow Telegram to achieve new heights. However, it should be remembered that American legislation represented by regulatory authorities [SEC, CFTC - editor’s note] are already considering any such projects as their competitors today,” says Lado Okhotnikov.
The interview reveals the reasons forcing the American financial regulator to introduce increasingly stringent restrictions against promising projects like TON. Among these reasons are the weakened position of the dollar due to competition from the currencies of OPEC countries or due to the growing popularity of decentralized financial instruments such as Bitcoin or Web3 ecosystems.
The expert reveals the key advantages of the latest blockchains over fiat money. At the same time, he points out the risks that may threaten Pavel Durov’s ambitious project in the context of the tough position taken by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), governments and regulators. About this and much more in the original interview.
