Wallet in Telegram is getting a new upgrade with a new interface, expanded crypto trading, and permanent rewards for holding TON and USDT.
Crypto wallet dubbed “Wallet in Telegram,” which is developed by a third-party company called The Open Platform and based on Telegram as a mini-app, has rolled out new features, adding support for multi-asset trading and passive income through yield rewards.
In a March 13 announcement on its official channel, Wallet in Telegram revealed that users could soon trade “hundreds of new cryptocurrencies,” including Bitcoin (BTC) and memecoins like PEPE (PEPE), as well as earn “long-term passive rewards” for holding Toncoin (TON) and Tether’s stablecoin (USDT).
“New features will be gradually rolled out in March and April, but you can already preview how the updated Wallet will work.”

Wallet Earn, a staking-like feature, is now a permanent part of the app, the project said. Most users already have access to TON Earn, where rewards are credited daily and automatically added to balances. Users can withdraw funds from Wallet Earn “at any time, without fees,” the announcement reads.
Wallet in Telegram says the update allows users to “build fully diversified crypto portfolios” directly within the app, which is available only to Telegram users.
The announcement follows the recent integration of London-based payments firm Mercuryo’s on-ramp services into Wallet in Telegram, enabling users to purchase crypto with fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar and euro. As crypto.news previously reported, the move supports Telegram’s broader goal of expanding crypto accessibility for the platform’s 900 million users.
