Telegram Unveils the Largest Crypto Wallet Rollout in Human History!



​Pavel Durov is preparing to change the Web3 landscape forever. The Telegram founder just announced that this summer, the messaging giant will deploy a native, non-custodial Gram wallet directly into every single Telegram app.

​With over 1 billion active users, Durov accurately describes this as the largest deployment of non-custodial (self-custody) crypto wallets in human history.

​Zero Fees, Instant Transfers
The built-in wallet will allow users to send and receive crypto instantly with zero fees, effectively transforming Telegram into a frictionless, borderless payment network.

​True Self-Custody
Unlike standard custodial solutions where a central entity holds the funds, this native integration ensures that users maintain absolute control over their private keys directly within the app they already use daily, no third-party extensions or exchange accounts required.

​Market Reaction
Following the announcement, the $GRAM ‌ token (formerly Toncoin, which rebranded back to its original 2018 name in June 2026) surged nearly 10%, briefly topping $1.56 as the market priced in the massive adoption potential.

The renaming that takes the Toncoin back to Gram is already full of story, and with support from the native wallet, this ecosystem loop is becoming more and more complete.

Non-custodial wallets are finally set to enter the mainstream public eye. Durov’s move is brilliant—going forward, everyday transfers might really not need to rely on banks.
