Hex Trust to Support DeFi, Custody and Staking on The Open Network

Hex Trust integrates with TON and becomes one of the first custodians to offer full access to TON custody, staking, Jettons custody, and TON DeFi support via TON Connect. By doing so, Hex Trust helps TON users to securely manage and trade their assets while broadening access and driving institutional adoption. 

An important element of this cooperation is the regulatorily compliant nature of Hex Trust that opens up new avenues for institutional clients to participate in the rapidly growing market of decentralized financial services that are found on TON while also accessing over 950 million Telegram users.
