After operating for nearly five years inside Telegram, Walt is expanding its distribution with a standalone app for crypto trading and investing. The new app keeps access through existing Telegram accounts while broadening the platform's reach beyond its original in-app wallet model.
Highlights
- Walt launched a standalone crypto trading app on Sept. 28, enabling sign-in via Telegram, Google, or Apple, with access to over 200 cryptocurrencies and 100+ tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs.
- Walt users can send crypto to other Telegram users for free, with external wallet transfers incurring standard network fees plus a service fee, such as 1 USDT on the TON network.
- In October, Walt introduced AI-assisted perpetuals trading using Mira, ChatGPT, and Claude, which can analyze positions but cannot transfer or withdraw funds.
Standalone app broadens Walt's trading offering
As reported by The Block, Walt says the standalone app lets existing users sign in with their Telegram account, while new users can register through Telegram, Google, or Apple. The company says the Telegram-based product remains available under the same account as it pushes beyond the service once known as Wallet in Telegram.Walt rebranded on Sept. 28, saying the product had outgrown its original wallet function. According to the company's statement, the app offers more than 200 cryptocurrencies, more than 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, yield products, and perpetual futures linked to crypto, metals, and energy.
Chief Executive Andrew Rogozov says in the statement that Walt has evolved from a simple bot for buying crypto into a broader investment platform used by tens of millions of people. The platform also lists yield products tied to assets including stablecoins, Gram, Solana, Ethereum and Tron.
Product expansion adds competitive pressure in crypto investing
Users can send crypto to other Telegram users for free, while onchain transfers to external wallets carry standard blockchain network fees plus a service fee. Walt's website gives the example of a 1 USDT fee to send any amount of USDT to an external address on the TON network.The standalone launch follows Walt's Oct. 20 rollout of AI-assisted perpetuals trading through Mira, ChatGPT and Claude. Walt says those agents can read live perpetual prices, analyze positions and exposure, and open or close trades, while order execution is off by default and the agents cannot withdraw or transfer funds.
