🇺🇸 TON Wallet launches in the United States
Wallet in Telegram has begun rolling out TON Wallet across the United States, giving American Telegram users access to a self-custodial crypto wallet seamlessly integrated directly into the Telegram app. Users can now send, store, and manage digital assets without leaving the messaging app they use every day.
This launch marks a major milestone for both Wallet in Telegram and the broader TON ecosystem as self-custody and Web3 access become available to U.S. users at scale.
Self-custodial crypto, built into Telegram
TON Wallet enables users to manage their crypto and digital assets without downloading separate apps or browser extensions. Fully integrated into Telegram, the wallet introduces native interactions – including the ability to send crypto directly in Telegram chats – while ensuring users remain in full control of their private keys.
By combining self-custody with Telegram’s familiar interface, TON Wallet removes friction from everyday crypto use.
A first for the U.S. messaging market
TON Wallet is now the first self-custodial crypto wallet natively integrated into a mainstream messaging platform in the United States. The wallet provides a gateway to a wide range of on-chain tools and services, including:
- Advanced trading features
- Staking and yield opportunities
- 0% fees on USDT purchases
- Direct withdrawals via MoonPay
All within a secure, self-custodial environment.
A gateway to Web3 – without complexity
“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”
- Andrew Rogozov, CEO of The Open Platform (TOP) and Wallet in Telegram.
Expanding access to TON Ecosystem
The U.S. launch of TON Wallet represents a significant step in the global expansion of TON Blockchain ecosystem. As the primary wallet of the TON ecosystem, TON Wallet plays a central role in Telegram’s digital economy and serves as a gateway to a rapidly growing selection of Telegram Mini Apps.
With TON Wallet now available in the United States, users gain direct access to the TON Blockchain – including applications for gaming, payments, DeFi, as well as NFTs, collectibles, and digital marketplaces.
Built for global scale
In 2024 alone, over 100 million users activated TON Wallet, all before it was available in the U.S. market. With its U.S. rollout now underway, TON Wallet is positioned for continued growth as global crypto adoption accelerates.
By bringing self-custodial Web3 access directly into Telegram, TON Wallet continues to redefine how users interact with digital assets – securely, intuitively, and at global scale.
