Sphere Labs, a blockchain developer focused on facilitating stablecoin services for business clients, has announced a new fiat on-ramp and off-ramp designed to work within Telegram.
The bank-to-wallet extension will allow Telegram users to shift bank funds directly into their wallets and vice versa within the Telegram app for an advertised fee of 0.1% per transaction for early users.
The service will open to early users the week of May 27, and a full launch is expected later this year.
Although users from any non-sanctioned country can use the Telegram extension, they must associate the service with a United States dollar or euro-denominated bank account.
