Telegram Wallet users can now trade tokenized shares of major U.S. companies, including Amazon, Netflix, Coca-Cola, Nvidia, and Tesla. ETFs tracking indexes like the S&P 500 are also available. Trading is open 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday, and is not bound by U.S. market hours.
The new “Stocks & ETFs” section has launched in select regions and will expand globally over time. All assets are issued as tokens, enabling users to buy fractional shares starting at just $1. Token transfers between Telegram users are instant and free of charge.
The catalog currently includes over 50 leading U.S. stocks. Token holders also receive dividends in the same asset: when underlying shares pay out, digital equivalents are automatically credited to the user’s Wallet balance.
Telegram Deepens Its Push Into Digital Finance
The new feature aligns with Telegram’s broader blockchain strategy. CEO Pavel Durov has repeatedly said that the platform’s future is tied to Web3, with BTC, TON, and other digital assets forming the foundation of a new in-app economy.
Over the past year, Telegram has steadily expanded its crypto ecosystem. In August, a Telegram Gift NFT was exchanged for a real Porsche worth $350,000, and in September, the platform turned digital stickers into tradable NFTs.
The new stock-trading option broadens Telegram’s financial toolkit, positioning Wallet as a bridge between traditional markets and digital assets on the TON network.
