Telegram Introduces TON Wallet for US Users

In a groundbreaking move, Telegram, the popular social media messaging application, has launched a self-custodial crypto wallet named TON Wallet for its users in the United States. This innovative feature, developed by The Open Platform, is seamlessly integrated into the Telegram app, eliminating the need for additional downloads or separate logins.

Features and Benefits

The TON Wallet enables users to send and receive cryptocurrencies directly within the app, alongside facilitating peer-to-peer transfers and token swaps. A notable partnership with MoonPay allows for fee-free cryptocurrency purchases, making digital currency more accessible to the average user.

A First in the US Market

This launch marks the first time a self-custodial crypto wallet has been integrated into a conventional messaging app in the US, setting a new standard for digital communication and finance. Despite its global rollout in 2024, the US introduction faced delays due to regulatory hurdles, now finally overcome.
