Walt Launches Standalone Crypto App After Years Inside Telegram
Walt, formerly Wallet in Telegram, launched a standalone Android app on November 10, with an iOS release planned. Users can register without Telegram through Google or Apple, while existing customers can access the same funds through either interface. The company says the app offers more than 200 cryptocurrencies, tokenized US stocks and ETFs, perpetual futures, yield products and AI tools, subject to regional restrictions. The launch mainly changes how Walt reaches customers rather than introducing new products. Its commercial impact remains unclear: the announcement did not provide current active-user or trading-volume figures. Tokenized stocks may not confer the rights of conventional shares, and perpetual futures carry leverage and liquidation risks.
