Telegram is expanding its reach in the world of cryptocurrency by introducing a new feature for peer-to-peer trading Bitcoin (BTC).  

Users of the @wallet web interface can now access buy, withdraw, exchange, and make peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions directly through Telegram’s web interface in Bitcoin, as per the latest announcement from the @wallet account on April 21. This move builds upon the existing services surrounding cryptocurrencies that are already popular within the chat program. Notably, the announcement states:

“Bitcoin is now available on the @wallet web interface, along with a new instant exchange. You can now buy, withdraw, exchange, and make P2P transactions with BTC directly through our updated web interface. It is now possible to buy Bitcoin using a bank card or the P2P market in the “Buy & Sell” section of our user-friendly interface.”

The announcement also reminded users that the updated “Exchange” of the platform can now instantly swap Bitcoin, Tether (USDT), and Telegram Open Network (TON) with each other.
