Telegram Crypto Wallet Built On TON

The team had earlier announced that the TON-based wallet on Telegram went live for the 800 million users, as part of the new integration. With this, the TON price has increased massively at a time when the Bitcoin price remained almost flat compared to 24 hours ago. Elite Crypto, a popular crypto Twitter account, revealed the news coming out from Token2049:

“Telegram’s crypto wallet is here. After three years of anticipation, they have unveiled it at Token2049 in Singapore. Additionally, they are all in on the TON network, giving $TON token a 7% boost.”

Earlier, CoinGape reported that the TON price movement showed the formation of an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern, which is a bullish sign. It said the price break out above the immediate resistance at $2 would mean that the 50 day Exponential moving average (EMA) crosses above the 100 day EMA. This crossover is generally associated with an uptrend in the asset price.
