The World Just Got a Billion Dollar Idea with Ethena and TON Blockchain

Well, well, well, look who’s making waves in the world of finance. Ethena Labs and its trusty companion, the Ethena Foundation, have joined hands with the mighty TON Blockchain. What for, you ask? Just a little something to shake up the world of finance and messaging, that’s all.

So, here’s the deal. Ethena Labs, the masterminds behind the synthetic dollar USDe, are teaming up with the creators of TON Space Wallet, a self-custodial wallet (for all you people who still think “self-custodial” is a made-up word). Together, they’re integrating their services into the ever-so-popular Messenger. No biggie. Just revolutionizing finance while you’re waiting for your pizza delivery.

Hold on, it gets better. USDe and sUSDe? Oh, they’re going to be directly linked into Telegram’s native wallet. Because, who doesn’t want their digital dollars hanging out in a messaging app? Simple and effective. Right?

Introducing the product for a billion people:

Today we announce our partnership with @ton_blockchain to power finance’s most powerful use case:

To send, save and pay with a globally accessible dollar

Internet money, now available for @Telegram’s billion users

And now, the fun part. Up to 10,000 tsUSDe per wallet for eligible customers. And if you’re lucky enough to have tsUSDe in a TONNE wallet, prepare for a 10% increase in your yearly percentage yield. All that plus the benefits Ethena has already promised you. Not bad, right? It’s like finding extra fries at the bottom of the bag, but better.

Guy Young, the Founder of Ethena (yes, that Guy), shared his excitement: “Our partnership with the TON Foundation marks a significant milestone for Ethena and we’re thrilled to join forces with one of the largest distribution platforms and fastest-growing blockchain networks in the world.” Well, color us impressed, Guy. Big words, big goals.

Now, let’s not forget the real magic. Telegram, with its billion users, is the perfect stage for introducing USDe to the world. Because who doesn’t want to send and receive money while chatting about the weather with your aunt? A global reach like that? It’s like they planned it all along.

This collaboration is part of Ethena’s big 2025 expansion dreams. Yes, there will be a TON-based application and Telegram-based payments. Because why not make everything easier while we’re at it?
