Wallet, the Telegram-integrated crypto wallet developed by The Open Platform (TOP), has introduced a range of new features. The update includes crypto trading capabilities and a permanent Earn program, with initial rollouts beginning in March and April. Access to these new functionalities will be expanded gradually.
New Trading Features
A dedicated "Trade" section has been added to Telegram Wallet. Initially, users can trade Toncoin (TON), Bitcoin (BTC), and Tether (USDT), with plans to expand support for Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), and PEPE in the near future.
The Trade feature allows users to buy, sell, and store cryptocurrencies without requiring blockchain deposits or withdrawals. This simplifies the process for new users and lowers the barrier to entry for crypto adoption.
Permanent Earn Program
In addition to the trading platform, Wallet has introduced a permanent Earn program. Unlike previous limited-time promotions, this new feature offers long-term earnings opportunities on Toncoin deposits. Future updates will include support for USDT deposits and additional earning campaigns.
The goal of these updates is to make digital asset management in Telegram more accessible, particularly for users who are new to cryptocurrencies.
TON Ecosystem Growth
The Wallet update is part of the rapid expansion of the TON ecosystem. In 2024, TON-based application developers earned over $55 million, driven by the increasing popularity of Web3 games and mini-apps on Telegram.
According to official data, in the past year:
- 36.2 million new crypto wallets were created — a 55x increase compared to 2023.
- The total number of Toncoin holders surpassed 100 million.
- Monthly active wallets reached 40 million.
