Litecoin is now accessible through the Wallet feature in Telegram, allowing users to buy, sell, and transfer cryptocurrency directly within the app.
The Litecoin Foundation shared, on March 24, 2025, that Litecoin (LTC), which ranks as the 24th largest cryptocurrency globally with a market capitalization of $7.1 billion, is now integrated into Telegram’s Wallet.
This addition places LTC among other prominent cryptocurrencies, making it available to potentially one billion monthly active users of Telegram.
According to the announcement, users outside the U.S. can now buy and sell LTC via the non-custodial wallet, joining assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Toncoin (TON), and Tether (USDT).
The wallet also accommodates various gaming tokens.
While non-U.S. users can engage in buying, trading, and selling Litecoin through Telegram’s wallet, the option for external transfers is not yet enabled. Consequently, users cannot transfer Litecoin in or out of the wallet at this moment.
The integration of Litecoin into Telegram’s wallet comes amidst the platform’s growing influence in the cryptocurrency sector. The popularity of tap-to-earn games and the launch of mini-apps specifically on the TON Blockchain have bolstered Telegram’s standing in the marketplace.
Litecoin stands to gain from this increase in overall adoption.
The Litecoin Foundation noted, “The inclusion of Litecoin in Telegram marks a significant advancement in the merging of messaging and cryptocurrency. As digital currencies gain more acceptance, platforms like Telegram are paving the way for innovative solutions that meet user needs.”
Users holding TON and USDT will have opportunities to earn passive rewards just by holding their assets.
Telegram aims to encourage adoption and user growth by offering free Litecoin purchases. For the next week, users interested in exploring Litecoin through the wallet app will incur zero fees.
