How to Choose a Cryptocurrency for Steam Top-Up

Choosing a cryptocurrency depends on your priorities: speed, fee amount, or ease of sending. Here are our recommendations for different scenarios:

If rate stability matters — USDT

USDT (Tether) is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio. This means you won't lose on volatility: sent $10 in USDT — received exactly $10 on Steam. We recommend the TRC-20 network (TRON) — fee is just ~$1, and the transaction confirms in under a minute.

If speed matters — TON

Toncoin (TON) is the fastest of the supported cryptocurrencies. Transactions on the TON network confirm in 5-10 seconds with fees less than a cent. If you use Telegram, you already have a built-in wallet — top up Steam via TON in just a couple of clicks.

If you have Bitcoin — Lightning Network

If you hold BTC, use Lightning Network for instant and cheap transactions. Regular Bitcoin network requires 10-30 minutes of waiting and $1-5 in fees, but Lightning solves both problems — learn more about Steam top-up via Bitcoin.

If you have Ethereum or Litecoin

We also accept Ethereum and Litecoin. Ethereum is convenient if you work with DeFi and already have ETH in your wallet. Litecoin is a great choice for those who want minimal network fees.
