Telegram's Wallet: Zero Fees for Deposits, But Wait, There's More! 😏

In the bustling digital marketplace, where the clamor of coins and tokens echoes like the chatter of a thousand crows, Telegram’s Wallet, that curious little custodial application, made a splash on the 14th of February—a day when love is in the air, and apparently, so are zero-fee USDT deposits. Yes, you heard it right! For those lucky enough to be among the chosen few in over sixty countries, the gates have swung open, and the toll collectors have taken a holiday. But hold your horses! While deposits may be free as a bird, the withdrawal fees remain as stubborn as a mule, clinging to their old ways like a dog to a bone.

Now, if you fancy withdrawing your precious stablecoins, prepare to part with 3.5 USDT if you’re on the Tron network, or a mere 1 USDT if you’re gallivanting on The Open Network, affectionately known as TON. It seems the folks at Wallet are hoping this little maneuver will stir the pot of liquidity, making it bubble and froth like a pot of stew on a cold winter’s night, while also fattening their coffers as USDT transactions dance like fireflies in the summer dusk.

USDT, the heavyweight champion of stablecoins, crafted by the wizards at Tether, holds a staggering 63.3% of the market share as of February 13, 2025. But don’t let that fool you; its grip is loosening like an old man’s grip on his cane, as USD Coin (USDC) is sneaking up with a swagger, increasing its token supply like a teenager raiding the fridge at midnight.

“In terms of MiCA compliance,” said the spokesperson, with a twinkle in their eye, “Wallet in Telegram is currently working toward it and aims to be fully compliant by the end of 2025.” Ah, compliance—the holy grail of the crypto world, where dreams of legitimacy dance like mirages in the desert.

Stablecoins have become the darlings of the crypto realm, a shining beacon of hope in a sea of volatility. In the United States, where support has been as scarce as hen’s teeth in some states, the White House crypto czar, David Sacks, has placed stablecoins on the pedestal of priorities, as if they were the last slice of pizza at a party.

And let us not forget TON, Telegram’s very own layer-1 network, which saw a staggering $1.4 billion in USDT-TON circulation in 2024. A veritable gold rush, if you will, where fortunes are made and lost faster than you can say “blockchain.”
