It's critical to comprehend why Telegram Wallet chose custody over self-custody as the messaging app gets ready to launch Telegram Wallet as a native setting in November. 
 
One popular Telegram bot that lets users purchase and trade cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin is called Telegram Wallet. 

A senior executive claims that BTC $35,137 has selected custody over self-custody in order to pursue simpler onboarding objectives.

The custodial cryptocurrency wallet will be integrated into the Telegram messenger in July 2023,
Enabling users to access it straight from the messenger's settings.

Wallet users who have previously used Telegram can now view the wallet bot straight in the messenger, while those who haven't are still unable to see it in their settings.

Halil Mirakhmed,chief operating officer of Telegram Wallet, states that the entire deployment is anticipated to commence in November, commencing with "several African and Latin American countries." With the launch, Telegram users in a few chosen nations will be able to access the Wallet and begin purchasing, trading, and transferring cryptocurrency.

All of MENA, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe will continue to receive the rollout.

The Wallet bot platform, according to Mirakhmed, chose a custodial solution over a self-custodial one for a number of reasons, including simple onboarding of new users.

Self-custody becomes extremely challenging if you want to introduce cryptocurrency to as many people as possible, according to Mirakhmed.

Consider a scenario in which you have never utilised cryptocurrency and, for the time being, your go-to option is, say, an Ether noncustodial wallet. 

emphasising that setting up the wallet and storing the seed phrase must be done before utilising a self-custodial wallet, 

Whether it's an app or a Chrome addon.
