Telegram Launches Native Non-Custodial Gram Wallet for Over 1 Billion Users

Pavel Durov announced that Telegram will soon launch its native non-custodial Gram Wallet, set to revolutionize the way users interact with crypto within the messaging app. With over 1 billion monthly active users, this integration has the potential to significantly reduce barriers to entry for mainstream crypto adoption.

The Gram Wallet will enable fast and free crypto transactions, allowing users to store, send, and interact with blockchain applications using their Telegram accounts. This self-custody wallet is a significant step towards Web3 capabilities within the app, potentially redefining how people engage with money.

The native wallet integration on Telegram could facilitate easier onboarding of new users into the crypto space, making it more accessible for mainstream adoption. The Gram Wallet's non-custodial nature means that users hold their private keys and are responsible for securing them.
