Telegram Brings 100M-User Wallet to US Market
Telegram’s integrated TOP wallet was launched in Asian and European markets in 2023 and has accumulated more than 100 million users, according to data from CryptoQuant. However, it was previously unavailable to US customers due to regulatory conditions.
The Open Platform (TOP) CEO Andrew Rogozov told CNBC that the recent shift in US government attitudes concerning cryptocurrency policy finally allowed Telegram to bring its wallet to the app’s nearly 30 million US-based users — CNBC reports 87 million US users, however Coinspeaker was unable to verify this figure.
According to a post on X from the TON Wallet account, US users who sign up for the integrated wallet will have access to the same features available in global markets including the ability to send crypto to friends in DMs, convert dollars to crypto with 0% fees, withdraw funds directly to their credit or debit cards, and earn passive income by holding tokens in their TON Wallets.
