Telegram founder Pavel Durov said the messaging platform will roll out a native non-custodial crypto wallet across every version of the app before the end of summer, extending instant, zero-fee crypto transfers to more than 1 billion monthly active users. The wallet is being built around Gram, Telegram’s native crypto asset, and would differ sharply from the existing @wallet bot, which is operated by The Open Platform rather than Telegram and defaults in part to custodial infrastructure unless users switch modes. Durov described the plan as the biggest deployment of a non-custodial crypto wallet ever attempted, a claim that rests on Telegram’s scale even though many product details remain undisclosed. Those open questions include whether the new wallet will replace or sit alongside @wallet, which assets beyond Gram it will support, and how key management will work for mainstream users with no prior crypto experience. The announcement pushed Gram up about 7%, lifting the token back above $1.52 and bringing its market capitalization to $4.18 billion, though the move only partly reversed a 25% decline through most of July and left the token well below both its longer-term trend line and previous highs.
