Telegram has officially launched its TON Wallet to users in the United States, unlocking crypto access for over 87 million Americans directly within the app. Built on the TON blockchain, this move marks a major milestone in crypto adoption, simplifying how users send, receive, and store digital currencies without needing separate platforms or complicated setups.
The launch follows Telegram’s successful global rollout, which began in 2023 and already saw over 100 million users activate their wallets by 2022. Until now, U.S. users were excluded due to regulatory concerns. With those hurdles now eased, Telegram is expanding access just as crypto interest resurges and everyday users seek more intuitive tools to get involved.
This isn’t just a tech update — it’s a cultural shift. By integrating a wallet into a familiar app, Telegram is removing the learning curve that’s long kept crypto out of reach for most people. The timing, simplicity, and trust in the platform could help bring digital currency into the mainstream for millions of Americans.
