Litecoin joins Telegram wallet for non-US users
External LTC transfers are not yet supported, but the wallet also includes Bitcoin, Toncoin, Tether, and gaming tokens.
Litecoin is now available in Telegram’s Wallet, expanding the app’s growing cryptocurrency ecosystem. Non-US users can buy, sell, and trade LTC within the wallet, alongside Bitcoin, Toncoin, and Tether.
With Telegram boasting nearly 1 billion monthly users, the integration could boost Litecoin’s adoption. However, external transfers are currently unavailable, meaning users cannot send LTC outside the wallet at this time.
Telegram continues expanding its cryptocurrency offerings, recently announcing plans to support more tokens, including meme coins. Passive rewards for holding TON and USDT will also be introduced.
To encourage adoption, Telegram is offering fee-free Litecoin purchases for the first seven days, making it easier for users to explore the new feature.
