Despite scams and scammers, Telegram is an incredibly powerful tool for traders.
With a few simple but crucial steps you could be supporting traders wherever they need it.
In the rapidly changing world of digital investing, one platform
has quickly grown as one of the main venues for forex and crypto traders:
Telegram. Using the messaging app is tempting as it offers tangible benefits
for users and publishers, but the wrong strategy can result in significant
setbacks, as we see at FXStreet.
Telegram’s role in forex and crypto trading is increasingly
essential for a growing number of investors seeking real-time analysis,
insights, signals, and community engagement. According to marketing research
data, Telegram is one of the main social media channels that traders use to make
investment decisions, it’s at roughly the same level as Facebook and X
(formerly Twitter) and only behind YouTube and Discord. WhatsApp, the
messaging platform that is more popular among the general public, comes in way
behind the others when it comes to traders.
Telegram’s Special Appeal
Telegram has some interesting features that can explain its
success among forex and crypto investors. The interface is more flexible than
that of WhatsApp, with channels unmuted by default, the option of customized
emojis, chat history functions, and the possibility of adding administrators
who aren’t owners.
For publishers, Telegram’s API facilitates interaction with users can be directly linked to a website, a feature that isn’t available for
WhatsApp channels. This makes it easier to create, manage, and edit posts.
Capitalizing on Telegram’s Potential
FXStreet recognized the potential of Telegram more than three years ago. Our aim was to arm traders with timely, accurate, and actionable information, regardless of the channel.
Forex and crypto channels on Telegram are divided into two broad
categories. The first is signals, or groups with thousands of followers,
mostly bots, where owners suggest full trade plans, including entry and
exit prices for a specific asset. Generally, these channels are opaque and run by
anonymous users with little to no accountability. The other channel is news,
managed mainly by established media outlets with experience in the forex and
crypto markets, giving real-time information and insightful analysis so traders
can make their own decisions.
The 'Blue Check'
Things haven’t been easy in the Telegram environment. Despite the
platform’s main strengths being privacy and security, scammers are seeking to illegally
benefit from traders. FXStreet had to deal with tens of accounts impersonating
the site and even some of its analysts. In some cases, these accounts doubled
the followers of our own channel thanks to an army of bots. Efforts to
take them down would result in more of them appearing in a matter of days, with
complaints about fraud mounting. This has become a growing problem not only for
FXStreet, but for all media focusing on forex and crypto traders.
The situation has improved since Telegram verified the account in September. This has been a game-changer. The verification not only bolsters our forex community but
also acts as a vital shield against scams, a prevalent concern in this
channel. Our users feel secure knowing they're part of a verified group.

FXStreet’s Telegram chat audience quickly increased after the
verification. The channel has more than 56,000 followers, and if recent trends
are sustained, it could exceed 80,000 followers by the end of this year. In
comparison, renowned media outlets such as the New York Times or Bloomberg each have
around 130,000 followers each.

With the Telegram community becoming more prominent, we have had the opportunity to monetize the channel with sponsorships.
There are several elements on how to create a successful Telegram channel: Promote the channel via newsletters, social media, push notifications, or on-site placements; fill the channel with insightful, actionable content and update it frequently; work with Telegram to obtain the blue-check or verification mark; develop a system to automate the publication through Telegram; and keep sharing content, combining manual and automated posts.
As the trading world expands to new channels, being nimble and
adaptable is essential, but this should never compromise the commitment to
one’s values. Offering top-quality news is always a differentiator: you
need the best sources when making trading decisions. We're very proud of the interest our news generates on Telegram and are here to support traders wherever they need us.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
