New feature allows users to send digital assets to Coinbase wallet owners in 170 countries by applications such as iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok or by email.

Message-based payments will be completed instantly and without any fees. It is planned that new solution will expand the use of cryptocurrencies as a payment method.

Earlier this year, the @wallet Telegram bot added USDT to send the world’s largest stablecoin via messages.
