According to a report by Jinse Finance, citing CNBC, U.S. users can now directly send, receive, and manage cryptocurrencies within the Telegram app, without the need for additional downloads, browser plugins, or separate logins. TONWallet has been integrated into the Telegram interface and began rolling out gradually in the U.S. this week. This is a self-custodial crypto wallet, allowing users to control their own private keys. The service is developed by The Open Platform (TOP) and built on the TON blockchain, enabling users to send stablecoins and other digital tokens to contacts as easily as sending a message. According to official sources, this is the first time a self-custodial crypto wallet has been embedded in a mainstream messaging platform in the U.S. market.

According to ChainCatcher, as reported by Cointelegraph, the CEO of U.S. international remittance service provider Western Union stated in an interview with Bloomberg that the company is actively exploring the use of stablecoins for cross-border payments, currency exchange, and digital wallets, viewing this as an opportunity for innovation. The company has already tested related settlement processes in Africa and South America and is seeking to collaborate with crypto firms to offer stablecoin on- and off-ramp services.
