Telegram, the widely used messaging app, has unveiled an integrated crypto wallet feature, allowing users to effortlessly access their cryptocurrency holdings.

The revelation came amidst the TOKEN2049 conference, where the TON Foundation and Telegram publicly announced their partnership.

Telegram has committed to granting TON projects and their associated partners privileged access to its advertising platform as part of the partnership.

Telegram's partnership with TON extends far beyond the realm of crypto wallet.

TON's objective is to entice 30% of Telegram's active users within the next five years, and this partnership is poised to transform the integration of messaging platforms and cryptocurrency.

Xiaomi's MIUI now flags Telegram as dangerous in China.
