Wallet in Telegram, the digital asset platform embedded within the messaging app, today launched yield-generating vaults for Bitcoin, Ethereum and $USDT inside $TON Wallet, allowing users to earn returns on holdings without leaving the chat interface.
The new vaults let holders deploy assets into variable-rate strategies while maintaining self-custody. Morpho, a decentralized lending protocol, powers the infrastructure through TAC, an EVM-compatible execution layer within The Open Network. Re7 provides strategy curation and risk management.
$USDT vaults offer multiple risk tiers, with the highest-yielding option advertising blended returns of up to 18% annually. Bitcoin and Ethereum vaults extend comparable functionality to the two largest digital assets by market value.
The launch builds on a recent expansion that brought wrapped versions of Ether and Coinbase-issued wrapped Bitcoin to $TON Wallet earlier this month, marking their first native availability within the $TON ecosystem.
Andrew Rogozov, founder and chief executive of The Open Platform, said the objective is connecting sophisticated DeFi protocols with everyday applications used by mainstream audiences.
Morpho co-founder Paul Frambot noted that embedding lending infrastructure into widely adopted products could speed broader adoption of onchain finance.
The platform said it plans to enable direct deposits of native Bitcoin and Ether into $TON Wallet, where holdings would automatically convert to wrapped equivalents for use across the network.
