TREE NEWS update: Telegram’s built-in crypto wallet, Wallet in Telegram, has been renamed Walt and will add a crypto card and AI-driven trading features. The rebrand follows Telegram’s launch of Gram Wallet, aimed at its 1 billion users for buying, sending and transacting in Gram. Gram Wallet targets entry-level daily use, while Walt serves advanced users needing trading, investment, multi-chain assets and cross-chain transfers. No migration of funds, accounts or settings is required.
Telegram Wallet Rebrands as Walt, Plans Crypto Card and AI Trading
AI take
The split is the real story: Telegram now runs two wallets with different jobs, a mass-market on-ramp in Gram and a more advanced multi-chain product in Walt. That segmentation matters because it signals Telegram is treating its user base as tiers rather than one funnel, and because the crypto card and AI trading features are the parts that would push Walt beyond simple custody into everyday spending and active trading. Whether Walt's advanced features ship as described, and whether the two wallets stay cleanly separated rather than competing for the same users, is the open question.
