When messengers went beyond ordinary communication and became full-fledged platforms for life, no one thought that the stock market would become the next step. Telegram has provided its users with the opportunity to trade tokenized shares of American companies directly in the app.

This was made possible by partnering with crypto exchanges, namely Kraken and Backed Finance. They are the ones who are engaged in converting ordinary shares into digital tokens, making them available on Telegram.

You can trade in the section of the crypto wallet called "Stocks and Funds". Currently, 58 different assets can be found there, mainly shares of well-known technology companies such as NVIDIA, Tesla and Apple, as well as securities of four exchange-traded funds (ETFs) such as SPDR, TQQQ, Invesco QQQ Trust and VTI.
The system works almost around the clock – 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, which is much more convenient than traditional exchanges. It is important that holders of tokenized shares are eligible to receive dividends.

Telegram is taking a big step into the financial world by combining a messenger and an investment platform. This is not just a new feature, but an attempt to make investments accessible to everyone, just like regular communication. If they succeed, it could change not only Telegram, but the entire financial industry, where convenience and simplicity are becoming more important.
