According to The Block, Walt has launched a standalone app, expanding its crypto trading and investment services beyond Telegram to a separate application. The company noted its existing Telegram-based product remains accessible via the same account: existing users can log in with their Telegram accounts, while new users can register via Telegram, Google, or Apple. Formerly known as Wallet in Telegram, Walt has operated for nearly five years and completed its rebranding on September 28. Its official site lists over 200 cryptocurrencies, more than 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, plus perpetual contracts linked to cryptocurrencies, metals, and energy, and offers yield products for assets including stablecoins, Gram, Solana, Ethereum, and Tron. Transfers of crypto assets to other Telegram users are free; on-chain transfers to external wallets incur blockchain network fees and service charges. For example, transferring any amount of USDT to an external address on the TON network requires an additional 1 USDT service fee. CEO Andrew Rogozov stated: "Walt started as a simple bot for buying crypto, and has now grown into a full-fledged investment platform used by tens of millions of users. We built the best crypto product on Telegram, and now we’re opening it up to everyone." The company also launched AI-assisted perpetual contract trading powered by Mira, ChatGPT, and Claude on October 20. The related agents can access real-time perpetual contract prices, analyze positions and risk exposure, and execute trades, but order execution is disabled by default, and the agents cannot withdraw or transfer funds.

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said in a recent speech: "The Federal Reserve will need to further tighten policy. U.S. inflation is too high, and September’s inflation data was abysmal. I am particularly concerned that price increases are becoming widespread. Even if October CPI improves from September, I will still support a 25 basis point rate hike in December. If October core CPI rises around 0.3% or higher, the Fed may need to raise rates by 50 basis points in December." (Jin10)
