TON Goes U.S. Mainstream: Now You Can Buy Crypto Inside Telegram — No Wallet Headaches Required

🇺🇸 TON Unlocks the U.S. — Telegram's Blockchain Just Got a Whole Lot Bigger

The Open Network (TON) isn’t playing small anymore. One year after launching stablecoin payments via MoonPay outside the U.S., TON is now fully available to American users in 49 states — with one big exception (yeah, still you, New York).

The integration lets anyone grab TON or USDt inside Tonkeeper, TON’s native wallet, using cards, bank transfers, or even Apple Pay.
And the kicker? No fees when using MoonPay Balance. That’s frictionless finance with real-world reach.

🧠 TON + MoonPay = Web3 for the Rest of Us

TON was born inside Telegram — the 900M-user messaging app that became crypto’s unofficial town square.

Now it’s evolving into something more powerful: a decentralized layer for payments, apps, and digital identity. Think WeChat, but open-source, crypto-native, and global.

“If we capture even a third of Telegram’s user base, TON becomes the second most-used blockchain in the world.”
— Manny Stotz, TON Foundation President

That’s not just ambition — that’s a roadmap to mainstream Web3.

🌍 Why This U.S. Launch Is a Big Deal
