TikTok Coins are a virtual currency used in the popular TikTok apps on Android and iOS smart devices. These digital coins can only be purchased in the official TikTok apps and are designed to be used exclusively within the TikTok ecosystem.

The main purpose of TikTok Coins is that they can be used to financially support other users during a TikTok livestream broadcast.

Once a stream starts, viewers can purchase digital emoticons or emotes with coins. These images appear in the chat and can be viewed by the TikTok streamer. The streamer then receives 50% of the value of the coins, which are then immediately converted into diamonds.

Once the streamer has enough diamonds with a total value of at least $100, he can exchange them for real money. This money is deposited into a PayPal account.
