🤖 Telegram Bots & Crypto Trading: A Match Made in Heaven? 🚀
Telegram bots are making waves in the crypto trading world, with trading volumes surpassing $190 million. These bots, like @BananaGunBot, offer easy access to trading features such as sniping and airdrop farming, making them increasingly popular. However, the sustainability of this growth is yet to be determined. 🤔
🔐 Telegram Integrates TON-Based Crypto Wallet
Telegram has integrated a self-custodial crypto wallet, TON Space, for its 800 million users. This move brings TON one step closer to its original vision and gives users digital ownership rights. However, the wallet will not be accessible to users in the U.S. and some other countries.
📊 Key Metrics
Telegram's massive user base of over 800 million presents a significant opportunity for bot trading. The daily trading volume exceeding $10 million shows the rapid growth in bot usage. Monitoring metrics like active users and trading frequency will be crucial as adoption increases. 📈
🌍 Crypto Adoption Around the World
India leads in crypto adoption despite a 30% tax on crypto gains. Nigeria follows closely, with a 9% year-over-year growth in crypto transactions. Interestingly, most countries leading in crypto adoption have been plagued with devaluing fiat currencies, high-interest rates, and corrupt governments. 🏦
