Wallet in Telegram Upgrade

Wallet in Telegram is getting a new upgrade with an enhanced interface, expanded crypto trading, and permanent rewards for holding TON and USDT.

The crypto wallet, developed by a third-party company called The Open Platform and based on Telegram as a mini-app, has introduced several new features. These include support for multi-asset trading and the ability to earn passive income through yield rewards.

In a March 13 announcement on its official channel, Wallet in Telegram revealed that users would soon be able to trade “hundreds of new cryptocurrencies,” including Bitcoin (BTC) and memecoins like PEPE. Users can also earn “long-term passive rewards” for holding Toncoin (TON) and Tether’s stablecoin (USDT).

New Features

Wallet Earn, a staking-like feature, is now a permanent part of the app. Most users already have access to TON Earn, where rewards are credited daily and added automatically to balances. Users can withdraw funds from Wallet Earn “at any time, without fees,” according to the announcement.

The update allows users to build fully diversified crypto portfolios directly within the app, which is exclusively available to Telegram users.

This announcement follows the recent integration of London-based payments firm Mercuryo’s on-ramp services into Wallet in Telegram, allowing users to purchase crypto using fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar and euro. This move supports Telegram’s broader goal of expanding crypto accessibility for its 900 million users.
