Crypto Bot
Telegram bot @CryptoBot for payments and custodial crypto storage. One of the earliest and largest payment bots in Telegram (TON, BTC, USDT, ETH), the de-facto standard for accepting crypto payments inside Telegram bots.
Aliases: cryptobot, @cryptobot, crypto pay
Crypto Bot (@CryptoBot) is one of the first and most widely-used Telegram payment bots. It’s a custodial wallet supporting TON, BTC, USDT (TRC20/ERC20/TON/SOL), ETH, BNB, USDC, and several other assets.
Core features
- Payments between Telegram users via
@CryptoBotdirectly or via cheque links. - Crypto Pay API for developers: integrate crypto payment acceptance into your own Telegram bot in minutes (REST/webhook).
- Cheques, invoices, transfers by username.
- In-bot exchange between supported assets.
- On-ramp / off-ramp via partners.
Crypto Pay API — the key differentiator
Crypto Bot is the de-facto payment processor for Telegram bots. If your bot accepts crypto, you’re likely integrating Crypto Pay (alongside xRocket Pay and Telegram Stars). The API is simple: create an invoice → user pays inside @CryptoBot → webhook fires on your server.
This produced a network effect: tens of thousands of Telegram bots already use Crypto Pay, and every new crypto-accepting bot adds Crypto Pay to its default integration list.
Risks
- Custody: keys live with the service.
- Telegram dependency: account block = funds blocked until recovery.
- Regulatory grey zone: Crypto Bot has no public PSP licences in most jurisdictions.
