The cryptocurrency platform Walt, formerly known as Wallet, has launched a separate application for trading digital assets. The information was confirmed by company representatives in a statement to The Block on November 10, 2026.
The new solution allows registration via Google or Apple without a Telegram account. Existing users will be able to log in using their messenger account while retaining access to their assets and transaction history.
"Walt began as a simple bot for buying cryptocurrency and has transformed into a full-fledged investment platform used by tens of millions of people. We created the best crypto product inside Telegram, and now we are opening it to everyone," said Andrii Rohozov, CEO of Walt and The Open Platform.
According to official data, the application offers trading in more than 200 cryptocurrencies and over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs. Perpetual futures on digital assets, metals, and energy commodities are also available.
In addition, the platform provides tools for earning yield on stablecoins, Gram, Solana, Ethereum, and TRON.
Walt Product Director Yehor Danylov said that the main feature of the new application will be the ability to use the service outside Telegram.
"The biggest change is access," he noted.
According to Danylov, new trading instruments and asset classes will initially appear in the standalone application. Going forward, the team also plans to launch cryptocurrency payment cards.
In October 2026, Walt already introduced perpetual futures trading using AI agents Mira, ChatGPT, and Claude. They can analyze positions, assess risks, and open or close trades. At the same time, order execution is disabled by default, and there is no access to withdrawals or fund transfers.
Walt's official website states that the standalone application is already available for Android, while the iOS version is planned for release later. The service will also continue to operate inside Telegram.
The company claims tens of millions of registered users but does not disclose the number of active clients, trading volumes, or assets under management.
How Wallet became Walt
In January 2022, the Wallet bot appeared in Telegram, designed for working with cryptocurrencies. In April, users gained access to Toncoin transfers directly through the messenger.
Subsequently, the team expanded the service's functionality by adding P2P trading, non-custodial wallets, yield programs, and tools for trading derivative financial products.
On September 28, 2026, the developers announced the rebranding of Wallet to Walt. In an official statement, The Open Platform explained the decision by the expansion of functionality. At the time of the rebranding, the service supported more than 300 assets across four blockchains and no longer matched the original concept of a simple crypto wallet.
"The product became bigger, and the name became shorter," the company noted.
The changes coincided with Telegram's preparations to launch its own non-custodial Gram Wallet. On September 1, 2026, messenger co-founder Pavel Durov announced that access to it would be granted to a limited group of users. The developers planned to gradually expand audience coverage.
As part of the Telegram update, its own wallet appeared in the Money section of the messenger settings, taking the place of the former Wallet. At the same time, Gram Wallet and Walt are different products.
The first is intended for self-custody of crypto assets and transfers within Telegram, while the second offers a broader set of trading and investment instruments.
After the rebranding, Wallet users did not need to transfer funds or undergo verification again. All balances, addresses, and transaction history were preserved.
The service continued to operate through the @walt and @wallet bots and also retained its infrastructure integration with Telegram. In particular, Walt provides the ability to top up the messenger's built-in wallet directly from its platform balance.
The launch of a separate mobile application became a continuation of this strategy and allowed Walt to expand its audience beyond Telegram without ceasing operations inside the messenger.
