U.S. Telegram Users Now Access TON Wallet
July 22, 2025
Telegram’s TON Wallet application has launched for U.S. users. The wallet enables functionality including purchasing, selling, and transferring various cryptocurrencies directly from within the Telegram messaging application.
Key Features
- Integrated crypto functionality via native wallet
- Support for trading multiple tokens, including USDT and TON
- Fiat-to-crypto conversion options
- Peer-to-peer crypto transfers
Development & Funding
Ton Force is built by The Open Platform (TOP), the first unicorn-level company within the TON ecosystem. TOP secured its multi-billion valuation via a recent funding round, facilitating part of this expansion.
“The timing of our U.S. launch was guided by product scaling readiness and market opportunity.
“Adding the US wallet launch further deepens Telegram’s integration with the decentralized finance world and underscores top Crypto firm leadership.
Ray Ashby reported earlier this week that U.S. users can now access TON Wallet within Telegram’s interface, offering features like instant onion routing via a fully[HB]earable crypto wallet.
Market Expansion & Growth
Telegram’s pre-existing 87 million U.S. user base presents a major growth opportunity. SensorTower estimates telegram’s wallet has already activated over 100 million users globally.
The wallet rollout expands across approximately ten territories over the next two years, representing a strategic expansion for TOP and the TON ecosystem.
TOP also continues developing broader TON ecosystem products, including the STON.fi token swap protocol and marketplace Getgems.
Technical Context
Following early Telegram involvement, development of The Open Network (TON) was later managed by external developers before rejoining the Telegram brand team.
