Telegram, a messaging app, has expanded its cryptocurrency services by adding tether (USDT) to its @wallet bot. This enables users to send USDT within chats, and represents an important development for Telegram’s crypto service. USDT is the world’s largest stablecoin by market cap, and offers many of the benefits of other cryptocurrencies without the price volatility that can be associated with them.
How could integrating crypto payments into messaging apps benefit mainstream adoption?
Integrating crypto payments into messaging apps could be a positive development for mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies. It has the potential to make sending cryptocurrency as easy as sending a text or a photograph, which could help to increase the number of people using cryptocurrencies.
What other cryptocurrencies can you send via Telegram?
In addition to USDT, Telegram has previously added bitcoin (BTC) and toncoin (TON) to its @wallet marketplace, with the latter also available for sending within chats. However, the development of the TON blockchain project was abandoned in 2020 following legal battles with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Nevertheless, TON was kept alive by members of its community, who continue to advance the project.
