Pavel Durov Wants to Give a Billion Telegram Users a Crypto Wallet

DECRYPT ·

Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced a native non-custodial Gram wallet is rolling out to all Telegram apps this summer, targeting more than 1 billion users with instant, zero-fee crypto transactions. Gram, Telegram's native crypto, jumped roughly 7% on the news. The coin is still a long way offs from its highs, and 88% down from May levels. Pavel Durov has a big promise to keep before summer ends. Telegram's founder announced on Tuesday that the messaging app—think WhatsApp but larger, with over 1 billion monthly active users—will roll out a native non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet across every version of the app, offering instant, zero-fee crypto transactions to all of them. The crypto wallet is being built to support Telegram’s native crypto, Gram—formerly known as Toncoin. A non-custodial wallet means users hold the keys to their own funds. Think of it like carrying cash instead of using a bank account: nobody can freeze it, seize it, or block a transaction without your permission. The existing Wallet bot inside Telegram (@wallet)—which already has over 150 million registered users—runs partly in custodial mode, meaning a company holds the keys on your behalf. Durov's new wallet would change that.
