Telegram hat eine neue Zahlungsfunktion namens Wallet Pay eingeführt, die es Händlern ermöglicht, Bitcoin (BTC) und Tether (USDT) über die Messaging-App zu akzeptieren.

Diese neue Funktion erleichtert es Händlern, Kryptowährungszahlungen nahtlos innerhalb der Telegram-App entgegenzunehmen. In der Vergangenheit mussten Händler auf Do-it-yourself-Lösungen mit einfachen Bots zurückgreifen, um Kryptowährungszahlungssysteme zu verbinden.

Telegram has introduced a new payment function called Wallet Pay, which enables dealers to accept Bitcoin (BTC) and Tether (USDT) via the messaging app. The wallet bot, also known as @wallet, is based on the blockchain of The Open Network (sound) and enables users to transmit cryptocurrencies within chats.

This new function makes dealers easier to accept cryptocurrency payments seamlessly within the Telegram app. In the past, dealers had to fall back on do-it-yourself solutions with simple bots to connect cryptocurrency payment systems. With Wallet Pay, however, you can now make payments directly in your chats with the sellers.

In order to receive payments in cryptocurrencies via Telegram, retailers must first apply on the Wallet Pay website. The Wallet Chatbot team already supports around 200 companies in using the payment app, and it is expected that thousands of small companies will also use the app in the future. Users can create a new crypto wallet that is immediately linked to their account without having to save recovery phrases or private keys.

It is worth noting that Telegram is not the only social media platform that has integrated payments into cryptocurrencies in recent years. Last year, Twitter also teamed up with the online payment company Stripe to enable traders to pay their customers in cryptocurrencies.

Although there is already cryptocurrency services on Telegram, only a fraction of the huge user base of this platform has accepted the wallet service. Of the more than 700 million members, only 2 million wallets use. Nevertheless, this new payment function of Telegram potentially offers many dealers an easy way to accept cryptocurrency payments, and could help to further spread the acceptance of cryptocurrencies.

Telegram had developed the tone blockchain project in the past, but was discontinued in 2020 due to legal conflicts with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The project was adopted and developed by the Ton community, known as The Ton Foundation.
