Telegram has announced the availability of crypto payment features. Telegram users may now download the official wallet bot, which allows them to purchase, trade, and send bitcoins to other wallets. Telegram’s Open Network (TON) Foundation, in a statement, said that “we expect this feature to evolve into consumer-to-business payments, allowing users to swiftly purchase products and services by sending Toncoin via the bots.”
Users of the Telegram messaging service will be able to send payments and transactions in Toncoin, The Open Network’s native cryptocurrency. Users that add Telegram’s wallet bot to their attachment menu will be able to purchase cryptocurrency via debit cards, cryptocurrency exchanges, or transfers to other cryptocurrency wallets. According to the startup, users will not have to wait for confirmations or provide a long wallet address when making transactions
