According to a recent LinkedIn post from Wallet in Telegram, the company is expanding its in-app TON Wallet functionality to support BTC, ETH and USDT Vaults with a self-custodial structure. The post suggests users can access onchain yield strategies from within Telegram, without separately interacting with multiple wallets, bridges or DeFi interfaces.

The post highlights that these Vaults are built on Morpho’s lending infrastructure and deployed on TAC, described as the TON ecosystem’s EVM execution layer, with strategy curation and risk oversight attributed to Re7 Capital. The update also references the recent introduction of wETH and cbBTC to TON via TAC, indicating that those assets, along with USDT, can now be deployed into structured onchain strategies inside TON Wallet.
As shared in the post, Wallet in Telegram plans to enable seamless deposits of native BTC and ETH that are automatically represented as cbBTC and wETH, aiming to simplify cross-chain access to the TON ecosystem. For investors, this push toward integrated yield products and cross-chain asset support could enhance user engagement, deepen value capture within the Telegram interface and strengthen the company’s positioning within the TON and broader DeFi ecosystems.
If adoption scales, the described features may increase transaction volume and fees tied to the TON Wallet environment, potentially improving monetization prospects over time. However, the reliance on external infrastructure providers and onchain strategies also introduces counterparty, smart contract and regulatory risks that investors should monitor, particularly as DeFi products come under greater global scrutiny.
