Walt launches standalone crypto trading app following Wallet in Telegram rebrand

Walt has launched a standalone app, taking the crypto platform beyond Telegram after nearly five years as Wallet in Telegram. Walt rebranded from Wallet in Telegram on Sept. 28, saying the product had grown beyond its original wallet function.

Walt’s new app operates separately from Telegram, while existing users can continue accessing the platform through their Telegram accounts, the company said in a statement shared with The Block. 

Walt's website lists more than 200 cryptocurrencies, more than 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, and perpetual futures tied to crypto, metals, and energy. The platform says it also also offers yield products on assets including stablecoins, Gram, Solana, Ethereum Ethereum (ETH) and Tron.

Walt users can send crypto to other Telegram users for free, according to its website. Onchain transactions to external wallets carry standard blockchain network fees plus a service fee, such as 1 USDT to send any amount of USDT to an external address on the TON network.

The standalone app follows Walt's Oct. 20 rollout of AI-assisted perpetuals trading through Mira, ChatGPT, and Claude. The agents can read live perpetual prices, analyze positions and exposure, and open or close trades. Order execution is off by default, and the agents cannot withdraw or transfer funds, Walt said at the time.
