Where to sell Telegram Stars
There are four ways to turn Telegram Stars into money, and which one is yours depends on where the Stars are: on your personal account, on a channel's or a bot's balance, or in a bot's wallet.
A bot that buys Stars
A bot buys the Stars itself: you pay its invoice in Stars and it sends you money. In the Shiba Bank bot:
- the rate and the exact amount are shown before you confirm, and you get exactly that amount;
- the payout is USDT on TON — to your wallet, @CryptoBot or @xRocket — with a link to the transfer;
- you can sell Stars from your Telegram account or from the wallet in the bot; the wallet's rate is higher.
Today's rate and a calculator are on the sell page; step by step — how to sell Telegram Stars.
Fragment: for channel and bot Stars
Stars a channel or a bot earned — and Stars you got for paid messages — are withdrawn through Fragment and paid out in TON (GRAM): from 1,000 Stars, each Star 21 days after it arrived. Stars bought or received as gifts on a personal account can't go through Fragment. More — withdraw Stars from a channel.
Marketplaces
On marketplaces Stars are sold to other people: the buyer pays the platform and you hand the Stars over, usually as a gift the buyer converts. The platform takes a fee, the money arrives after the buyer confirms, and disputes go to its support. Expect a lower net amount than the price on the listing.
Private buyers in chats
The riskiest way. Common schemes:
- they ask you to send the Stars or a gift first, then disappear;
- they send a fake payment receipt or a screenshot of a transfer that never happened;
- they ask for your Telegram login code or cloud password "to check".
Never share your login code, cloud password or wallet seed phrase. Selling Stars never needs them — scams in Telegram.
What to check before selling
- The rate and the final amount are named before you send anything.
- You know when and where the money arrives, and you can check it.
- Nobody asks for codes, passwords or access to your account.
- You can back out before paying and lose nothing.
Getting local money
The bot pays in USDT. To get your own currency, sell the USDT on a P2P market, where buyers pay by bank transfer or local wallets — bKash, Nagad, UPI, PIX and others: Telegram Stars to cash.
