Toncoin (TON) Rally Continues as Telegram Debuts Built-In TON Wallet for 87M U.S. Users

Toncoin (TON) extended its rally after Telegram launched its integrated TON Wallet to 87 million U.S. users, allowing seamless crypto transfers and staking directly within the messaging app. The wallet, developed on the TON blockchain by The Open Platform (TOP), removes the need for external downloads or logins, making Telegram the first major U.S. messaging platform to feature a native self-custodial wallet.

TOP CEO Andrew Rogozov highlighted improved regulatory clarity and Telegram's crypto-aware user base as key factors behind the rollout. The wallet introduces a split-key recovery system, connecting backups to both Telegram accounts and email—eliminating traditional seed phrases. Users can stake tokens, swap assets, and make zero-fee purchases via MoonPay, simplifying crypto adoption for millions.
