Telegram’s Walt launches standalone app with tokenized stocks and AI trading

Telegram-linked trading app Walt has launched as a standalone platform offering tokenized stocks and AI-assisted trading, expanding beyond its original integration with the messaging app. The move positions Walt to compete in the growing tokenized-equity market, where blockchain-based shares aim to broaden access to traditional financial assets. Specific figures on assets under management, user counts, or supported tickers were not disclosed in the announcement. It matters because tokenized stocks could pull crypto-native users deeper into equities and pressure incumbent brokerages to lower costs and extend trading hours. Next, watch which chains and issuers Walt taps for tokenized shares, whether it secures regulatory clarity in key markets, and how quickly it adds assets and liquidity.
