Telegram Wallet has integrated Lighter to enable perpetual futures trading directly within the messaging app, extending access to the feature across its 150 million-plus users. The partnership brings derivatives trading capabilities into Telegram's native wallet interface, allowing users to trade perpetual contracts without leaving the platform.
