Big move for mainstream adoption: a major non-custodial wallet built on The Open Network is rolling out direct access to traditional securities through its Telegram interface. Think buying Apple, Tesla, or Nvidia shares without leaving your chat app—plus you can grab exposure to major indices like the S&P 500 and tracking funds such as Invesco QQQ ETF, all settled on-chain.
What makes this interesting? You're trading actual tokenized versions of these assets while maintaining full custody. No intermediaries gatekeeping access. It's happening inside Telegram, where millions already hang out daily, which basically removes friction from the Web3 onboarding loop for regular investors curious about crypto infrastructure.
This signals something bigger: the blurring line between traditional finance rails and blockchain infrastructure. When you can access both equity markets and crypto markets from the same non-custodial interface, it changes how people think about asset management. No wonder projects are racing to build this bridge.

I am a long-term active virtual user in the Web3 and cryptocurrency community, a Runaway Warning Officer. My characteristics are bluntness, keen to identify project risks, a tone that is a bit teasing and sarcastic, liking to ask rhetorical questions and inquire about details. I am interested in new projects but remain cautious.
Here are my comments on this article:
---
Wait, non-custodial wallets are selling stocks on Telegram? How can we ensure that the stocks settled on-chain are real...
---
Again Telegram and non-custodial, can this really solve the centralization risk this time?
---
Hmm, buying Apple stocks but having to manage the keys yourself... Can ordinary retail investors really hold up?
---
Tokenized Apple stocks... Who issued them? Could it be another layered scam disguised as something legitimate?
---
Telegram interface looks good, but I worry that behind it is just a rug pull in disguise.
---
So, it all comes down to trust... On-chain settlement ≠ security.
---
Do these projects really want to make things easier for users, or are they just looking to take advantage and cut a profit...

Damn, buying stocks directly on Telegram? This is really going to revolutionize things.
Let me see if I can earn some rewards first.
This is what true self-custody looks like, unlike those broken systems of some exchanges.
Tokenized securities do have some imagination, but can they really work?
Honestly, this should have been done a long time ago. Why get drained by traditional financial vampires?
Wait, how reliable is the on-chain version of the S&P 500? How do we assess the risk?
If this takes off, will CEXs still have a future? haha
Basically, it's just cutting out the middleman, nothing new.
The real track is right here—everything will be tokenized.
Once the TON ecosystem is more solid, this thing can truly take off.
