Sparkling launched a Telegram trading bot on September 30, 2026, according to a company announcement, putting prediction markets, perpetual futures, swaps and tokenized US stocks behind a single self-custodial balance, with an AI agent that prepares every trade. The bot is live at t.me/sparkling_trade_bot, and the company says a full web app follows on October 14.
The core mechanic, which Sparkling calls the pre-executed flow, keeps the AI between the user and the trade without letting it pull the trigger. A user types a request in plain language, such as 'buy $200 of bitcoin,' 'long ETH with 3x leverage' or 'buy Tesla,' and receives a ready-to-sign trade card showing the asset, size, venue, price, estimated slippage, fees and a risk check, with a single Confirm button, according to the announcement. The company says the tap always belongs to the user and the app never executes a trade without confirmation.
On prediction markets, the app routes to Polymarket, where Sparkling says it is a verified builder. Perpetual futures trade on Hyperliquid, swaps are powered by Bebop, and tokenized US stocks come from xStocks. Turnkey keeps every account self-custodial, and 0G provides private compute for agent conversations, according to the announcement.
"Every trader deserves an agent, so we built Sparkling, the trading app that comes with one, and left the keys and the final tap with the trader," said Daniil Kotlov, CEO and co-founder of Sparkling, in the announcement. Bebop CEO Katia Banina said her company powers Sparkling's swaps with Bebop RFQ from day one. NODES, a marketing consultancy founded by Aleksei Voiutskii, is Sparkling's exclusive marketing partner, according to a separate partnership announcement.
The company's own disclaimer sets the limits: Sparkling is a self-custodial interface to third-party markets, the agent's trade cards are not recommendations, and every decision is the user's. Some services are unavailable in certain jurisdictions, including the US and the UK, and xStocks are not available to US persons, according to the release.
The release frames Sparkling as part of a wave of consumer onchain apps: Fomo reached 625,000 traders and $4 billion in volume in its first year, and Phantom added perpetual futures and prediction markets to a wallet used by more than 20 million people, according to the announcement.
Analysis: the agent-prepares, human-confirms model is the industry's current compromise on autonomous trading: the machine does the work, a human keeps the final tap. For prediction markets, the notable move is distribution. Polymarket liquidity is now showing up inside another consumer surface, and this time the interface is a conversation, not an order book. The open question is what happens when a prepared card is wrong. The disclaimer says every decision is the user's, but the UX is designed so the user rarely says no. As agents move closer to the trade, the industry still lacks a standard record of what the agent considered before it prepared the card, and the first disputed auto-prepared trade will test whether a chat log counts as an audit trail.
