Libertex Group has officially launched a fully functional trading app within Telegram, becoming only the second contracts for differences (CFDs) broker to do so. The only other broker to debut such an app on the platform is NAGA, which introduced its version last year.
Expanding Trading Access Through Telegram
The new Libertex Telegram Mini App enables users to register, log in, manage accounts, and execute trades directly within Telegram, eliminating the need to switch between platforms.
“With a multi-million active user base worldwide, Telegram has long since moved beyond being a simple messenger, becoming a multifunctional hub for communication, community building, and now trading,” a Libertex spokesperson stated in the company’s announcement.
Currently, Telegram boasts around 450 million daily active users, with India leading as the largest market (over 100 million users), followed by Russia, Indonesia, and the United States. The platform is also highly popular among retail traders, where official broker channels coexist alongside third-party signal providers—though some of the latter pose fraud risks.
A Complete Trading Suite Inside Telegram
According to Libertex, the mini app grants access to all its instruments, ranging from real stock investing with zero commission to CFD trading on currencies, indices, ETFs, commodities, and cryptocurrencies.
“All instruments are available: from investing in real stocks with zero commission to CFD trading on currencies, indices, ETFs, commodities and cryptocurrencies,” the official Libertex announcement added.
“Communication and investing are combined in a single app, allowing traders to communicate and trade simultaneously.”
Mini Apps: A Growing Trend?
The success of NAGA’s Telegram Mini App, which now drives 8% of new client acquisition, has highlighted the potential of Telegram as a client onboarding channel for brokers. Similarly, the Blum crypto exchange mini app—launched last year—has quickly become one of the platform’s most popular apps, with more than 50% of its users being crypto newcomers.
Despite its promise, Telegram faces hurdles in certain markets. Earlier this year, Vietnam blocked access to the platform, while a new law in Russia forced local forex brokers to discontinue Telegram support.
Still, with Libertex joining the trend, mini apps could represent a new frontier in how brokers connect with traders, blending communication and trading in a single, familiar environment.
