[Walt Launches Standalone App, Crypto Trading Platform Expands Beyond Telegram for the First Time] According to The Block, Walt has launched a standalone app, expanding its crypto investment platform beyond Telegram for the first time. Walt changed its name from Wallet in Telegram on September 28th, stating that the product goes beyond its original wallet functionality. The company stated that existing users can log in with their Telegram accounts, and new users can register through Telegram, Google, or Apple; existing Telegram products can still be used with the same account. According to the statement, its website lists over 200 cryptocurrencies, over 100 tokenized US stocks and ETFs, as well as perpetual contracts linked to crypto, metals, and energy; the platform also offers yield products on assets such as stablecoins, Gram, Solana, Ethereum (ETH), and Tron. Walt CEO Andrew Rogozov stated in a press release that Walt started as a simple bot for buying cryptocurrencies and has now become a complete investment platform used by millions. According to its website, Walt users can send cryptocurrency to other Telegram users for free; on-chain transactions to external wallets incur standard blockchain network fees plus service fees, such as charging 1 USDT for sending any amount of USDT to an external address on the TON network. Prior to this standalone application launch, Walt launched AI-assisted perpetual contract trading via Mira, ChatGPT, and Claude on October 20; at that time, Walt stated that order execution was closed by default, and agents could not withdraw or transfer funds.
