Telegram Wallet Exchange Function Temporarily Halts Operations Due To DOGS Token Release 

Social media and messaging application Telegram announced that its wallet feature is currently experiencing operational issues, and the exchange functionality is temporarily unavailable. The Telegram team is actively addressing the problem and will provide an update once the swapping and peer-to-peer (P2P) trading features are restored.

The disruptions are connected to the recent release of the DOGS token, which garnered notable attention and led to operational halts for the wallet and several cryptocurrency exchanges. Alongside Telegram, Binance also faced website access issues due to heightened traffic, but the exchange has reported that it has resolved most of these problems. Additionally, Bybit and OKX also reported experiencing interruptions.

DOGS represents a meme cryptocurrency project native to Telegram, created to engage the Telegram community by rewarding users in accordance with their account activity and age. The project aims to introduce blockchain technology to a wider user base via the interactive and entertaining features, such as tokenized stickers.
