Telegram Wallet update remains the main reference point for users and Telegram Mini App developers following this update.
The latest Telegram Wallet update brings several confirmed changes, drawing close attention from both regular users and Mini App developers. As of late March, Telegram has expanded its in-app Wallet’s Trade section to support additional cryptocurrencies—users can now trade not only TON, but also BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC directly within Telegram. Alongside these new options, Telegram Wallet is running a zero-fee trading promotion, waiving usual commission fees until the end of March.
This update gives users a limited window to experiment with supported tokens or rebalance their portfolios without paying the platform’s standard trading fees. The broader coin selection caters to anyone who wants to keep crypto activity inside the Telegram app, although the fee waiver is set to expire when March ends. Builders integrating Wallet mechanics or designing bots around these features will need to factor in changes to trading availability and plan for commissions’ return once the promotion wraps up. Always confirm which cryptocurrencies appear in your Trade menu, as availability can differ across regions and app versions.
Telegram Wallet Update: Which New Cryptocurrencies Are Now Supported?
According to TON Journal, the expanded Telegram Wallet Trade section now lists BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC—each available for swapping and direct trades alongside TON. The update is live in both the standard and Lite versions of Telegram Wallet. Users can check the Trade interface to see which tokens have been rolled out to their app.
Telegram is offering zero-fee trading across these new tokens until the end of March. The offer applies to all swaps between the supported coins inside the in-app Trade section and waives Telegram’s usual service commission. However, blockchain network fees for external transfers, deposits, and withdrawals still apply and are not affected by this Wallet-side promotion. After March, the platform expects to revert to regular trading fees, though exact rates after the promotion have not been published.
TON Drop Hub’s take: Expanding the currency selection and offering zero-fee swaps is a practical move for traders and wallet users. Confirm the token pairs in your interface before trading, as not all users may see the same options due to ongoing rollout and region-based constraints.
How Zero-Fee Trading Works—And What to Watch For
The Telegram Wallet zero-fee trading offer applies to in-app swaps executed within the Trade section. The promotion is limited to the current month, ending as March closes. Any trades between listed tokens—including the new BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC pairs—will not incur Telegram’s customary commission during this window.
It’s important to note where the promotion starts and stops. The waived fees apply *only* to spot trades (swaps) made inside the Trade interface. They do not apply to blockchain network fees for withdrawals, deposits, or trades executed outside the Telegram Wallet app. For users who typically avoid experimenting with new pairs because of trading fee drag, this short period offers an incentive to test new features or rebalance assets without extra cost from Telegram’s side.
Builders and testers can also use this period to observe interface changes, order routing, and any oddities in balance updates. The primary limitation is the strict cutoff: once March ends, standard fees are expected to resume—potentially with little or no advance notice in the app.
Accessing the New Features: User and Builder Considerations
To access the updated functionality, open the Wallet tab in your Telegram app and navigate to Trade. If the expanded list is available on your device, you’ll see new crypto options (BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC) alongside TON, and you can initiate trades without Telegram’s trading commission until March concludes.
A few caveats:
- Rollout is staggered across different regions and app versions, and not all users will see new coins at once.
- There’s no official, comprehensive list of supported countries or devices for these wallet updates.
- If you don’t see expected assets in Trade, first update your app and check that your Wallet is enabled; support may still be pending for your account.
Additionally, while wallet permissions are handled by Telegram’s native app layer (not by connecting to external sites), always check your token lists and double-check destination addresses before committing to swaps—especially with rapid changes in supported assets.
TON Drop Hub’s take: The update process is direct but lacks full transparency—there’s no unified published asset list and rollout timing varies. Always review your wallet’s visible coins and the latest fee details before proceeding with trades.
Security and Risk Notes
- Only trust the official Telegram Wallet inside the main Telegram app. Phishing bots and scams often attempt to mimic these features—do not grant wallet permissions to unknown or third-party apps.
- There is no published guarantee that token support or fee structures will remain consistent; both can change at Telegram’s discretion and with minimal notice.
- The nature of wallet and trading mechanics (including KYC, limits, or exclusions) remains partially undocumented; proceed carefully, especially with large balances or unfamiliar coins.
- As always, safeguard your seed phrases and wallet access—Telegram staff will not ask for your credentials.
Summary
Telegram Wallet now supports BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC trading alongside TON, with zero Telegram commission on spot trades until the end of March. The new update provides more in-app trading flexibility, but both token visibility and fee-free access are subject to ongoing rollout and change. Confirm your own wallet’s list of coins and review fee terms before making trades.
