Telegram is extending access to its crypto wallet, built on the TON blockchain, to its 87 million users in the U.S.
The TON wallet is integrated directly into the Telegram app, aiming to simplify the onboarding process for new crypto users.
Telegram has offered crypto wallets to international users since 2023, but regulatory uncertainty prevented its U.S. rollout until now.
Over 100 million global users activated their wallets last year, representing about 10% of Telegram's 1 billion active users. The TON blockchain processes approximately 334,000 transactions per day.
