U.S. Telegram users now have access to TON Wallet, following a regulatory breakthrough enabling its launch
In a significant move for the cryptocurrency industry, the TON Wallet has officially launched in the United States, becoming available to over 87 million Telegram users. This rollout, which took place on July 22, 2025, marks a significant milestone for both Telegram and The Open Network (TON) ecosystem, following improvements in the U.S. regulatory environment.
The TON Wallet, created and operated by The Open Platform (TOP), is a self-custodial, multi-chain cryptocurrency wallet that offers a range of innovative features. Users can send, receive, and manage cryptocurrencies like TON and USDT directly within the Telegram app, without the need for external downloads or browser extensions.
One of the standout features of the TON Wallet is its integration with decentralized finance (DeFi) services. This allows users to access DeFi functionalities such as staking, on-ramps, and off-ramps for fiat, and even earn passive income by holding tokens.
Since its launch in 2023, the TON Wallet has accumulated over 100 million users worldwide, including users from Europe, Asia, Russia, and now the U.S. The U.S. entry aims to compete with centralized payment apps like Venmo and Cash App by integrating decentralized finance functionalities within a familiar social chatting environment.
This expansion into the U.S. market represents one of the largest crypto wallet integrations into a social platform and reinforces TON Wallet's strategic expansion plans into the U.S. and over 10 additional countries soon.
