It's just 'Wall Street'. Never 'the Wall Street' or any named street for that matter. For a generic street (uncapitalized) it can be referred to as 'the street though'.

We need additional context both to understand what you are trying to say and why you believe one form is acceptable but the other not. Please edit your post to indicate how you would use either phrasing in a complete sentence and what research you have attempted on your own to determine acceptability. I strongly recommend you take the site tour and review the help center. Our sister site for English Language Learners may also be of interest.

"Wall Street" is, in most contexts, synonymous with "the stock market". You would write "The Wall Street crash", however, because it's "the crash", not "the Wall Street".

Of course named roadways can get the “the” determiner just as any other proper noun can: “Is this the University Avenue in Berkeley?” / “No, it’s the University Avenue in Palo Alto.”
