Telegram adds in-message widgets with TON payments, limited to private bot chats

Telegram has introduced in-message widgets that support TON payments, giving the messaging app a new native way to transact with the TON token. Production access is currently limited to private bot chats, while group use and forwarding remain on Telegram's test server. Traders would watch this as another step toward embedding TON payments directly into Telegram's user experience, though the limited rollout caps near-term impact.
