TLDR

  • MoonPay Deposits routes cross chain transfers and credits TON Wallet in the chosen token.
  • Feature launches inside Wallet in Telegram self custodial TON Wallet for over 100M users.
  • Users can deposit Bitcoin and other assets while MoonPay handles swaps, bridging, and conversion.
  • MoonPay said ICE held talks to invest, after NYDFS trust charter and existing BitLicense.

MoonPay has added a new deposit tool to Wallet in Telegram, and it targets faster funding for TON users. The update lets people move crypto into Telegram’s wallet without manual network steps.

The product, called MoonPay Deposits, aims to make wallet to wallet transfers feel simpler. Users can send assets from other chains, and the wallet receives TON or supported tokens.

MoonPay Deposits arrives inside Telegram TON Wallet

MoonPay said MoonPay Deposits now runs inside the self custodial TON Wallet in Wallet in Telegram. The integration sits in Telegram’s dual wallet setup and targets broad consumer use.

Wallet in Telegram and partners said the feature gives more than 100 million users another funding path. It also aims to reduce missed deposits caused by wrong assets or networks.

How the cross chain deposit flow works

Users start in TON Wallet, then choose deposit, and then pick the token and network they want. The wallet generates an address, and the user sends funds from an external wallet.

MoonPay then routes the transfer and handles swaps, bridging, and conversion behind the scenes. After settlement, the service credits the TON Wallet balance in TON or another supported token.

Reducing steps for entering the TON ecosystem

Before this release, users often needed TON based assets before they could fund a TON Wallet account. That requirement added steps, and it also pushed users to exchanges or third party bridges.

MoonPay chief executive Ivan Soto Wright said, “Users shouldn’t have to buy new assets or navigate complex steps.” He said the tool lets people use crypto they already own to fund accounts.

Partner comments and MoonPay business context

Andrew Rogozov, founder and chief executive of The Open Platform and Wallet in Telegram, set a custody goal for the design. He said the product aims for custodial like ease while keeping self custody.

Separately, MoonPay has drawn interest from traditional market firms as it expands regulated operations. In December 2025, reports said Intercontinental Exchange held talks to invest in MoonPay.

Those reports tied the talks to a funding round that could value MoonPay at about $5 billion. They also noted MoonPay’s Limited Purpose Trust Charter from NYDFS and its existing BitLicense.

MoonPay also announced that CFTC acting chair Caroline Pham would join as chief legal and administrative officer. The company has positioned the hires and licenses around compliance needs.

Shiba Inu Leader Breaks Silence on $2.4M Shibarium Exploit, Confirms Active Recovery

The lead developer of Shiba Inu, Shytoshi Kusama, has publicly addressed the Shibarium bridge exploit that occurred recently, draining $2.4 million from the network. After days of speculation about his involvement in managing the crisis, the project leader broke his silence.Kusama emphasized that a special ”war room” has been set up to restore stolen finances and enhance network security. The statement is his first official words since the bridge compromise occurred.”Although I am focusing on AI initiatives to benefit all our tokens, I remain with the developers and leadership in the war room,” Kusama posted on social media platform X. He dismissed claims that he had distanced himself from the project as ”utterly preposterous.”The developer said that the reason behind his silence at first was strategic. Before he could make any statements publicly, he must have taken time to evaluate what he termed a complex and deep situation properly. Kusama also vowed to provide further updates in the official Shiba Inu channels as the team comes up with long-term solutions.Attack Details and Immediate ResponseAs highlighted in our previous article, targeted Shibarium's bridge infrastructure through a sophisticated attack vector.

The validator power on the network was majority held by them after this purchase. They were able to transfer assets out of Shibarium with this control.The response of Shibarium developers was timely to limit the breach. They instantly halted all validator functions in order to avoid additional exploitation. The team proceeded to deposit the assets under staking in a multisig hardware wallet that is secure.External security companies were involved in the investigation effort. Hexens, Seal 911, and PeckShield are collaborating with internal developers to examine the attack and discover vulnerabilities.The project's key concerns are network stability and the protection of user funds, as underlined by the lead developer, Dhairya. The team is working around the clock to restore normal operations.In an effort to recover the funds, Shiba Inu has offered a bounty worth 5 Ether ($23,000) to the hackers. The bounty offer includes a 30-day deadline with decreasing rewards after seven days.Market Impact and Recovery IncentivesThe exploit caused serious volatility in the marketplace of Shiba Inu ecosystem tokens.
