NewsTON Wallet launches in USA
Wallet in Telegram has begun its rollout of TON Wallet across the United States, giving American Telegram users the ability to send, store and manage digital assets seamlessly within a self-custodial solution inside the Telegram app.
TON Wallet notably allows users to manage their crypto and digital assets without the need to download standalone apps or extensions — with the added benefit of unique features and interactions with the Telegram app, such as sending crypto via Telegram chats.
TON Wallet is now the first self-custodial crypto wallet natively integrated into a mainstream
messaging platform in the United States, allowing access to robust trading tools, staking and yield protocols, 0% fees on USDT purchases and direct withdrawals via MoonPay and much more.
“With Wallet in Telegram, sending digital assets feels as simple as sending a message — no friction, no extra steps. At the same time, users stay in full control of their keys and funds. This isn’t just a wallet, it’s a self-custodial gateway to Web3, powered by TON Blockchain, right inside the app people use every day,” said Andrew Rogozov, CEO of The Open Platform (TOP) and Wallet in Telegram.
The launch of TON Wallet in the United States signifies a major step in the global expansion of the TON Blockchain ecosystem. TON Wallet is the primary wallet of the TON Ecosystem, playing a significant role in the Telegram economy and serving as a gateway to a vast selection of Mini Apps available on Telegram.
With the introduction of TON Wallet, American users now have direct access to the TON Blockchain, which includes applications for gaming, payments, DeFi — as well as a variety of platforms and marketplaces for NFTs and collectibles.
In 2024 alone, over 100 million users activated TON Wallet — all before the platform was ever available in the US market. With this launch, the number of TON Wallet users has the potential to grow significantly as the global adoption of crypto continues to accelerate.
