Telegram Wallet Launches Tokenized U.S. Stocks and ETFs with Kraken & Backed

Fri Oct 03 2025
Telegram Wallet now offers tokenized Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, and S&P 500 ETFs — 24/5 trading, fractional ownership, and DeFi integration for 164M+ users.

Telegram Wallet Turns Wall Street On-Chain

Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, and the S&P 500 — now tradable inside Telegram. Tokenized, fractional, and composable with DeFi.


⚡ Quick Hits

  • 📲 Launch: Late October 2025, gradual rollout
  • 📈 Assets: $AAPL, $TSLA, $NVDA + S&P 500 ETFs
  • 🕒 Trading: 24/5 — no more Wall Street closing bell
  • 🤝 Partners: Kraken, Backed, xStocks Alliance
  • 🌍 Reach: 164M+ TON Wallet users

🔓 Breaking the Market Hours Cage

Traditional stocks lock you into opening bells, custodians, and borders. Telegram Wallet just blew that up.

The new Stocks & ETFs section lets users:

  • Trade U.S. equities as 1:1 backed tokens
  • Hold them self-custodially inside Telegram
  • Fractionalize ownership, so even $10 gets you exposure to $AAPL or $NVDA
  • Plug stocks straight into TON DeFi apps

Think of it as Wall Street meets Web3, right in your chat app.


🏦 How It Works

The integration is powered by Kraken (custody + on/off ramps), Backed (tokenized infrastructure), and xStocks (the engine for equities).

Users can:

  • Deposit/withdraw tokenized shares via Kraken or other CEXs
  • Swap them in Telegram like any token
  • Collateralize equities in TON DeFi (loans, yield strategies, vaults)
  • Earn tokenized dividends on eligible stocks

This isn’t just a gimmick — it’s a full TradFi-to-DeFi bridge.


🌐 Why It Matters

  1. Democratization of Capital Markets Billions can now touch U.S. equities directly — no brokers, no middlemen, just wallets.
  2. TON Ecosystem Supercharge Collateralized xStocks flow into DeFi apps, multiplying liquidity and strategies.
  3. Pressure on TradFi If Telegram offers 24/5 tokenized stocks, how long until brokers are forced to modernize?
  4. Fractional Access = New Investors For young retail traders worldwide, this lowers the barrier to blue-chip stocks.

🧠 Bigger Picture

Tokenized equities are the stablecoins of Wall Street:

  • Stablecoins moved dollars on-chain.
  • Tokenized stocks will move equities on-chain.

With Telegram’s 164M+ Wallet users, this could be the largest retail distribution of tokenized assets ever.

Wall Street is no longer bound to Wall Street. It’s in your pocket, inside your chat app, composable with DeFi, and global by default.


TL;DR

  • Telegram Wallet adds tokenized Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, and S&P 500 ETFs
  • Powered by Kraken, Backed, xStocks
  • 24/5 trading, fractional, permissionless, self-custodial
  • Stocks become collateral for DeFi in TON
  • Pressure mounts on brokers as Telegram turns Wall Street into a global, always-on market
