Toncoin (TON) Rally Continues as Telegram Debuts Built-In TON Wallet for 87 Million U.S. Users
Toncoin (TON) extended its upward momentum as Telegram launched its integrated TON Wallet to 87 million U.S. users, eliminating external downloads or logins. The self-custodial wallet, built on the TON blockchain, enables seamless crypto transfers, staking, and token swaps directly within the messaging app.
The Open Platform CEO Andrew Rogozov highlighted a favorable regulatory shift and Telegram's crypto-savvy user base as key growth drivers. The wallet's innovative split-key recovery model—secured by Telegram accounts and email—replaces traditional seed phrases, simplifying user onboarding.
With features like zero-fee MoonPay purchases and fiat on-ramps, this launch represents a major milestone for mainstream crypto adoption. Rogozov stated: "This is how we simplify the whole thing," emphasizing the project's commitment to frictionless design.
