Summary
Walt, the crypto platform known for nearly five years as Wallet in Telegram, has launched a standalone app that operates separately from Telegram, The Block and CoinDesk reported.
CoinDesk said the app offers crypto trading, tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, and perpetual futures, all of which were already available inside Telegram.
Existing users can keep using the platform through their Telegram accounts, the company said in a statement shared with The Block.
The launch follows Walt's Sept. 28 rebrand, which the company said reflected that the product had grown beyond its original wallet function, according to The Block.
Key facts
- 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 Block: the platform says it offers yield products on stablecoins, Gram, Solana, Ethereum and Tron.
- The Block: sending crypto to other Telegram users is free, while transfers to external wallets carry network fees plus a service fee, such as 1 USDT for USDT on the TON network.
- The Block: on Oct. 20 Walt rolled out AI-assisted perpetuals trading through Mira, ChatGPT and Claude, with order execution off by default and no ability for the agents to withdraw funds.
