Telegram users woke up to broken t.me links after the platform’s short domain became unreachable, disrupting invites, public channels, and bot links across the web. At the same time, the Bitcoin and Ethereum price remains under pressure as we all wait for cooling signs on tensions between the US and Iran. Together, the outage and geopolitical uncertainty are being disruptive to crypto markets.
The problem centered on Telegram’s t.me domain after it entered serverHold status, preventing DNS resolution for web links. As of now, users trying to open channel invites or bot pages were met with browser errors, although the Telegram app continued working normally through direct connections.
It is reported that users can still search for channels inside the app or use full telegram.org links where available. However, so far, only Pavel Durov has asked for the registry to look into this, and neither Telegram nor the domain registry has explained the issue.
Hey @domainME, links stopped working. Can you look into it?

The disruption landed at an awkward time for crypto communities. Telegram remains the primary communication hub for many token launches, trading groups, and project announcements. When those links disappear, onboarding slows, announcements become harder to share, and community activity loses momentum. This added another layer of caution as investors already reacted to geopolitical headlines.

Bitcoin price waits for Iran developments while markets stay defensive
Bitcoin price hovers around $62,500 after swinging between $61,800 and $63,200 since last night. Price action has been volatile as investors monitored reports surrounding the conflict between the US and Iran, with traditional markets also shifting into a defensive stance.
Risk assets weakened after fresh military developments fueled uncertainty across global markets. Oil prices climbed, the US dollar strengthened, and traders reduced exposure to higher-risk assets. The Bitcoin price briefly recovered during the session but struggled to build momentum as investors waited for clearer signals.
Markets also face another important test with the upcoming US inflation data. The results could reshape expectations for Federal Reserve policy and influence short-term demand for crypto. All while the US government transferred about $288 million in seized Bitcoin and Ether to Coinbase Prime, a routine move that still drew attention for its size.
Corporate positioning also remains in focus. Strategy has paused additional Bitcoin purchases while building a $3 billion cash reserve, giving the company flexibility if market conditions deteriorate further.
For now, the Bitcoin price continues to track both macroeconomic developments and headlines from the Middle East, leaving traders cautious ahead of the next major catalysts.

Ethereum price shows resilience despite Telegram disruption
Ethereum price is cooling at $1,780, holding inside a relatively narrow range between $1,750 and $1,790. While market sentiment remained cautious, the Ethereum price showed slightly better stability than Bitcoin price during the latest round of volatility.
Part of that resilience comes from continued institutional interest. BitMine has expanded its Ethereum treasury to roughly 5.77 million ETH, while Robinhood Layer 2 network continues attracting activity using ETH as its native gas token. These developments support long-term demand even as short-term sentiment remains fragile.
