The team behind Telegram’s built-in crypto wallet, Wallet, has launched new campaigns to drive the adoption of stablecoins, particularly Tether (USDT).
In an X post today, the team announced a zero-fee offer for the purchase of USDT via Telegram’s built-in crypto wallet. This offer is only available to users who purchase USDT using their bank cards.
The team described the initiative as the first of its kind, suggesting that no blockchain wallet offers zero-fee options for USDT purchases.
⚡️Exclusive: Buy USDT with ZERO fees — only in @wallet_tg! We’ve waived fees on USDT purchases via bank card — an offer you won’t find anywhere else! A first-of-its-kind in crypto: pay $100, get 100 USDT🔥 pic.twitter.com/JGbOyWc0MU

For context, Telegram added USDT support in March 2023, allowing users to send, receive, and buy the stablecoin using the Wallet bot.
Availability
Popular Chinese blockchain reporter Colin Wu disclosed that the offering is currently available in more than 60 countries across Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Wu indicated that the move is part of efforts to reduce costs and drive stablecoin adoption in these regions.
It could also attract more people into the crypto space, as newcomers can purchase the world’s largest stablecoin without incurring any cost.
In addition, Wu noted that the initiative stems from a partnership between popular payment infrastructure Mercuryo and The Open Platform (TOP).
Wallet Launches 2 Valentine Giveaway Campaigns
