Wallet in Telegram, a third-party wallet integrated directly into the Telegram app, is rolling out perpetual futures support with Lighter, a perpetuals decentralized exchange.

Launching Thursday, perpetual futures are available to Telegram users through an integrated custodial solution, Crypto Wallet, the platform said in an announcement seen by Cointelegraph. 

The integration allows users to open long and short positions with up to 50× leverage across more than 50 assets, including crypto assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Toncoin (TON), as well as tokenized commodities and stocks.

“Perpetual trading has traditionally been intimidating for retail users,” said Andrew Rogozov, CEO of The Open Platform, which develops Telegram-based protocols and apps on The Open Network (TON).

Lighter brings leverage inside chat

The launch pushes leveraged derivatives into one of crypto’s largest consumer distribution channels, extending a trend in which perpetual futures are moving from specialist exchanges into everyday app environments, even as the products remain complex and high risk.

Lighter founder and CEO Vladimir Novakovski said the integration enables near-instant perpetual trading within the app:

Perpetual futures, or perps, are derivatives contracts that allow traders to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset.

Retail derivatives push accelerates further

Lighter’s perpetual futures rollout on Telegram comes amid massive growth in the sector, with perps almost tripling volume in 2025. According to CryptoQuant, perps accounted for up to 90% of derivatives volumes on major crypto exchanges in 2025.

Wallet in Telegram’s integration with Lighter is not the first time perps have reached Telegram.

In October 2025, a similar feature was launched by Blum, a hybrid crypto exchange designed as a Telegram Mini App. As part of the offering, Blum initially enabled traders to go long or short on 20 assets with up to 100x leverage.

Wallet in Telegram rolled out access to tokenized stocks via xStocks partnership with the US crypto exchange Kraken in October 2025.

Solana Dominates Crypto Token Launches, 85,000,000 Assets Registered

Solana Dominates Crypto Token Launches, 85,000,000 Assets Registered

The post Solana Dominates Crypto Token Launches, 85,000,000 Assets Registered appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Solana blockchain has become the top destination for token launches in the cryptocurrency space. In a recent update shared by Solana, the network currently has the majority of token creations happening in its ecosystem. Solana alone has 85 million tokens on its blockchain. Why developers prefer Solana over Ethereum This figure is significant considering that there are 100 million tokens in total on major crypto networks. That is, across some of the big blockchain platforms in the industry, like Ethereum, Avalanche, Arbitrum and Base, developers have created 100 million different tokens. These include meme coins, stablecoins, LP tokens, project tokens and more. You Might Also Like Notably, the Solana network is home to 85% of this total volume. This massive dominance is driven by the meme coin frenzy and other factors that make developers favor the network. These include its very low fees and super-fast transaction throughput.   It is these features that have given Solana an edge over industry giant Ethereum. As recently reported by U.Today, Solana registered 2.9 billion transactions in the month of August 2025 alone. This figure is the same amount that Ethereum has been able to log since its launch in 2015. Despite its current transaction speed, Solana is working on becoming the fastest layer 1 with its Alpenglow upgrade. Once completed, it will make Solana work 80 times faster than its current speed and reduce transaction finality to below 150 milliseconds.
