Telegram Adds One-Click USDT Yield to Wallet Through Affluent Integration

The move targets mainstream access to DeFi for the wallet’s 100 million users.

Overview

Telegram and TON-based Affluent launched the integration on Oct. 24, enabling yield directly inside the self-custodial Wallet via the Earn feature.
USDT holders can opt in with one click to earn up to 3.5% APY, according to TON Wallet.
Affluent’s smart vault strategies on TON power the offering, abstracting DeFi complexity within the app.
Wallet CPO Egor Danilov says the feature lets users put idle balances to work while keeping control of their keys.
Telegram cites 800 million monthly users and 100 million wallet users and targets onboarding 30% to the wallet by 2028 as it pursues a Web3 super app vision.
