Telegram users in the United States can now utilize the TON Wallet, an integrated crypto wallet within the app that allows sending and receiving crypto assets.
Access to TON Wallet in the US
According to information from the TON Foundation, Telegram users in the US have gained access to the TON Wallet, marking the first move in the US market. The expansion into this market had been planned earlier, but regulatory constraints hindered implementation.
Features of TON Wallet
TON Wallet is a non-custodial crypto wallet developed by The Open Platform on the Open Network (TON) blockchain. Users will be able to send, receive, and store crypto assets directly in the messenger. In case of key loss, access can be restored, with part of the recovery phrase linked to the Telegram account and the other part linked to the email.
Mission and Goals of The Open Platform
According to Andrew Rogozov, CEO of TOP, the goal of this development is to simplify and democratize access to crypto assets. He noted that users won’t need to download a separate wallet or remember a recovery phrase, greatly simplifying the process.
With the launch of TON Wallet in the US, Telegram users gain new opportunities for interacting with crypto assets, highlighting the growing interest in integrating cryptocurrency into daily use.
