Telegram is launching its own cryptocurrency wallet, integrated directly into the messenger—as announced today by the company’s founder, Pavel Durov. The new service will allow Telegram’s more than 900 million users to send and receive digital assets without having to leave the app. According to Durov, the main goal is to provide users with a secure, fast, and intuitive tool for managing cryptocurrency.

The wallet supports leading digital currencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Toncoin, and enables instant transfers between Telegram users. Built-in security features include two-factor authentication and data encryption, ensuring that funds remain secure even if a device is lost.

Telegram has long positioned itself as a platform for innovation in digital communications and finance. The integration of a cryptocurrency wallet is a logical next step following the successful rollout of payment services and growing user interest in digital assets. According to analysts, the launch of the new wallet could accelerate the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies and increase engagement among Telegram’s audience.

The wallet is expected to be available to all users in the coming months, and the Telegram team will continue to expand the service’s functionality by adding support for new currencies and asset management tools.
