You Can Now Let ChatGPT or Claude Trade Crypto Futures for You on Telegram. Is That a Good Idea?

Walt, a Telegram crypto app, now allows users to connect AI agents (Mira, ChatGPT, Claude) to trade perpetual futures directly on the platform. Users fund a dedicated account for trading, with no withdrawal permissions. Bitcoin is at $81,511, down 0.7% in 24 hours. Gram, linked to Telegram, is at $1.34, down 2% for the week. Walt's CEO also runs The Open Platform, which developed Mira. Similar services were launched by Robinhood and Gemini earlier in 2026.
