Telegram-Based Wallet Walt Launches Standalone Trading App Supporting Tokenized Stocks and Futures

Walt, a cryptocurrency wallet that began on Telegram, has launched a standalone trading app, expanding its services beyond the messaging platform.

Crypto news outlet The Block reported on Nov. 10 that Walt released a standalone app for trading cryptocurrencies, tokenized U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds, perpetual futures and yield products.

Walt has operated on Telegram for about five years under the name Wallet in Telegram. It rebranded to its current name on Sept. 28 as it expanded its business scope.

Users can log into the standalone app with their existing Telegram accounts. New users can also sign up with Telegram, Google or Apple accounts. Walt will continue offering its service inside Telegram as well.

Walt currently supports more than 200 cryptocurrencies and more than 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs. It also offers perpetual futures tied to metal and energy prices. The platform runs yield products using stablecoins, Gram, Solana's SOL, Ether and Tron’s TRX.

"Walt has grown from a simple crypto-buying bot into a comprehensive investment platform used by tens of millions of people," Chief Executive Officer Andrew Rogozov said. He added that the company now wants to bring the service it built inside Telegram to a broader user base.

On Nov. 20, Walt also introduced a perpetual futures trading feature that uses AI agents including Mira, ChatGPT and Claude. The agents can analyze real-time prices and open positions and execute orders, but they are restricted from making withdrawals or transferring funds.
