Telegram's Wallet Rebrands to Multichain Crypto Platform Walt

Telegram's Wallet in Telegram has undergone a rebranding to Walt, marking a significant shift towards a broader crypto platform offering trading, Earn products, tokenized assets, and other financial services within the messaging app.

The rebranding, which took effect on September 28, 2026, aims to reflect the platform's growth from a basic wallet for buying Toncoin (TON) and Bitcoin (BTC) to a multichain crypto platform supporting over 300 assets.

Walt now provides users with access to various features, including peer-to-peer trading, perpetual futures, Earn products, tokenized US stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), a non-custodial decentralized finance (DeFi) account, and loyalty campaigns.

The rebranding also creates a clearer distinction between Walt and Gram Wallet, a separate self-custodial wallet being introduced for the Telegram ecosystem. While Gram Wallet is designed as a simpler entry point for interacting with Gram and TON-based services, Walt targets users looking for a broader range of crypto products.
