After nearly five years inside the messenger as Wallet in Telegram, the platform rebranded as Walt on September 28 and has now shipped a standalone trading app for iOS and Android.

The app offers more than 200 cryptocurrencies, over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, yield products on stablecoins, Gram, SOL, ETH and TRX, plus perpetual futures on crypto, metals and energy. Existing users sign in with their Telegram account, while new users can register with Telegram, Google or Apple. The Telegram version stays live on the same account.

Walt says its platform is used by tens of millions of people, and the move gives it a distribution channel that no longer depends on the messenger.

The launch follows AI-assisted perpetuals trading added on October 20 and puts Walt in direct competition with standalone exchange apps rather than other in-chat wallets.
