Telegram chat trading
Last updated: April 28, 2026
Trade crypto directly from Telegram using Kraken's chat trading bot. Send a simple command, get a live quote, confirm, and your trade is executed on Kraken, all without leaving the chat.
What is Telegram chat trading?
Telegram chat trading lets you buy and sell crypto through a conversational environment on Telegram. Instead of navigating charts or order forms, you send natural-language commands (like "Buy 0.1 BTC") to the Kraken Trading Bot and receive real-time pricing powered by Kraken's trading infrastructure.
Every trade uses real Kraken pricing and settlement. Your trades are secure, authenticated, and fully tracked in your Kraken account.
Note:
Telegram chat trading is designed for fast, mobile-first moments when you want to execute quickly without opening an app. It is not a replacement for Kraken Pro or the full Kraken trading experience.

The bot will return a real-time quote with the price and details of your trade. For example:
"Buy 0.1 BTC at $XX,XXX? Reply Yes within 10 seconds to confirm."

The bot sends you a confirmation message with the trade details.

Security and authentication
Telegram chat trading is built with multiple layers of security:
Authenticated sessions: Your Telegram session is securely linked to your verified Kraken account. No one else can trade on your behalf through the bot.
Trade confirmation: Every trade requires explicit confirmation before execution. No trades are placed automatically.
Encryption: All communication with the bot uses Telegram's built-in encryption.
Audit trail: Every trade is logged and tracked in your Kraken account history.
If you suspect unauthorized access to your Telegram trading session, unlink your account immediately through the Kraken app and contact Kraken Support.
