Telegram’s built-in crypto wallet — simply called Wallet — is officially entering the U.S. market in Q2 2025. It's a big move from the team behind TON (The Open Network), and it could be a game-changer for both crypto adoption and TON’s global ambitions.
Let’s break down what this means 👇
Until now, Wallet has stayed far away from U.S. soil — mostly due to messy crypto regulations and legal gray zones.
Now?
The TON team clearly feels confident enough to go all-in on the American market.
TON isn’t just entering the U.S. quietly — they’re coming with features that could shake up the game:
Buy, sell, and HODL crypto like Toncoin, Bitcoin, and USDT — all inside Telegram.
No need for separate exchanges or even on-chain deposits. It’s frictionless.
Earn passive yield on Toncoin and (soon) USDT just by holding it in your Wallet.
Flexible rewards, with more yield campaigns dropping through 2025.
⚠️ Features will vary depending on where you are — because, you know, regulators.
TON’s been riding a wave of growth, mostly thanks to Telegram-native mini-apps — especially tap-to-earn games where users earn tokens for simple actions.
Some quick stats:
Basically, TON is becoming a super app platform, and Wallet is the entry point.
According to Andrey Rogozov, CEO of The Open Platform (TOP), the plan is simple but ambitious:
Get 30% of all Telegram users onto TON by 2028.
Considering Telegram has over 900 million users, that’s a massive potential user base — and TON wants to own the crypto rails behind it.
