Crypto Industry News:
Thanks to the activities of the TON Foundation, users of the popular Telegram messenger will be able to use crypto payments. This is important because the free application is already used by nearly 550 million people.
The introduction of a new bot that will allow you to buy Bitcoin (BTC) and Toncoin (TON) turned out to be a good move. According to the information provided by the TON Foundation, so far over 800,000 users have used the bot. The new feature will allow users to send and receive Toncoins (TONs), and will also enable them to buy BTC.
The representatives of the TON Foundation predict that the new functionality will be extended to payments made between consumers and companies. This, in turn, could facilitate the procurement of goods and services, and users could send TON via telegram bots:
"We anticipate that this functionality will extend into consumer to business payments, so that people can easily acquire goods and services by sending toncoin via bots in the Telegram app".
The integration of TON with Telegram is just the beginning of work on the development of the Toncoin ecosystem. Thanks to user support, the foundation raised $ 1 billion worth of funds that it intends to use to further develop the project. Using telegram bots to pay TONs or buy BTC is sure to gain interest from many members of the crypto community.
