Coinbase rolls out crypto transfers via links sent on WhatsApp, Telegram

A new feature from Coinbase Wallet allows for the transfer of crypto through a link that can be sent through some of the most popular social media sites and messaging apps as the crypto exchange looks to make its service accessible to a wider market.

“Users can now send money on any platform that they can share a link,” Coinbase said in a Dec. 5 blog post, naming apps like iMessage, Telegram, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

Send money anywhere you can send a link.

Easily. Instantly. For free.
