How to turn Telegram Stars into cash

Telegram has no button that sends Stars to a bank or a mobile wallet. But Stars on a personal account can be sold for USDT, and USDT turns into local money on any P2P market. That is the whole route: Stars → USDT → your money.

Step 1: sell the Stars for USDT

Open the Shiba Bank bot and press «💱 Sell Stars».
Choose where the Stars come from: your Telegram account or the wallet in the bot.
Enter the amount — 100 to 5,000 Stars per order. The bot shows how much USDT you get before you confirm.
Choose where the USDT goes: a TON wallet, @CryptoBot or @xRocket.
Pay the bot's invoice with your Stars and get the USDT.

Today's rate and a calculator are on the sell page. For 1,000 Stars from an account the bot pays about 11 USDT; from the bot's wallet the rate is higher.

Step 2: turn USDT into local money

USDT is a digital dollar. To get local money, you sell it to a person on a P2P market: they pay you in your currency, and the USDT goes to them once you confirm the money arrived.

@CryptoBot and Walt have P2P markets inside Telegram. If the bot sent your payout to @CryptoBot, the USDT is already there — no transfer needed.
Exchanges with P2P let buyers pay with local methods.

How buyers pay depends on the country:

Country	Common ways to get paid
Bangladesh	bKash, Nagad, bank transfer
India	UPI, IMPS, bank transfer
Pakistan	Easypaisa, JazzCash, bank transfer
Nigeria	bank transfer
Brazil	PIX
Other countries	bank transfer or local wallets

Which methods a P2P market supports in your country, check on the market itself. More on P2P trades — how to withdraw USDT to a card.

How much you get in the end

Your final amount = the bot's rate for the Stars − the P2P buyer's margin. The bot pays exactly the amount it showed before you confirmed — no extra fee on top. On P2P, compare a few buyers: the rate differs from one to another.

Stay safe

Release the USDT only after the money is in your account — check in your banking or wallet app, not by a screenshot.
Don't leave the P2P deal for a private chat: the market's protection works only inside the deal.
Never share your Telegram login code, cloud password or wallet seed phrase. No one needs them to buy your Stars or USDT — scams in Telegram.
Be wary of anyone who offers a rate far above the market: that's how fake-payment scams start.

Which Stars can be sold

Stars on your personal account — yes, to the bot.
Stars in the bot's wallet — yes, at a higher rate.
Stars on a channel or a bot's balance — not to the bot: they are withdrawn through Fragment for TON — withdraw Stars from a channel.

Frequently asked questions

Can I send Telegram Stars to bKash or Nagad?

Not directly. Sell the Stars for USDT in the Shiba Bank bot, then sell the USDT on a P2P market where the buyer pays you by bKash or Nagad.

Can I withdraw Telegram Stars to UPI?

Not directly. Sell the Stars for USDT, then sell the USDT on a P2P market where the buyer pays by UPI.

How much is 1,000 Telegram Stars in money?

About 11 USDT when you sell from a Telegram account and more from the bot's wallet. The exact amount for today is on the sell page.

Can I convert Telegram Stars to PayPal?

Not directly. Stars become USDT first; whether you can turn USDT into PayPal money depends on the P2P market and your country.

Is it safe to sell Telegram Stars?

Selling to the bot is: you see the rate before you confirm, and the payout comes with a link to the transfer. Selling to strangers in chats is risky — they often ask you to send first and disappear.
