Telegram is expanding into advanced crypto trading with the integration of perpetual futures through a partnership with Lighter. Users can now access leveraged trading directly within the app via Wallet, allowing them to open long and short positions with up to 50× leverage.

The feature supports more than 50 assets, including Bitcoin and Toncoin, as well as tokenized commodities and stocks. The integration enables users to move from chat to trading instantly, bringing complex financial instruments into a mainstream messaging environment.
