The Open Network's native cryptocurrency, Toncoin, has recently been making waves in the cryptocurrency market, stretching its value far beyond previous expectations.
The Open Network's native cryptocurrency, Toncoin, has hit a record high and displayed a remarkable growth in its Total Value Locked (TVL) recently. After maintaining a stable value between $1 and $2 throughout 2022, Toncoin's value surged to a new all-time high of $8.25 on June 15th.
This impressive surge in value is largely attributed to TON's strategic integration with Telegram, which boasts a consumer base of over 900 million users. Notably, protocols like DeDust, bemo, and Stakee also played a significant role with substantial contributions to the network's TVL.
In an innovative move, Telegram introduced a new advertising feature that enables users to promote their channels through tailored ad placements. As highlighted by Pavel Durov, Telegram CEO, the TON blockchain was specifically chosen to facilitate swift and secure ad payments and withdrawals.
This integration allows users to seamlessly purchase ad space with Toncoins, while the income generated from these ads is distributed among channel owners in the form of Toncoin. According to Durov, this strategy creates a "virtuous cycle" where content creators can reinvest their earnings into further channel promotion and enhancement.
Furthermore, the TON network's daily active wallets recorded a slight increase to 388,000, while monthly active wallets surpassed 5.5 million. This growth in active wallets outpaced even Coinbase's Layer 2 (L2) BASE, setting a new benchmark for expansion and adoption in the dynamic world of cryptocurrency, as observed by crypto researcher Leon Waidmann.
Despite slight fluctuations and a minor dip of 1.2% in the last day, TON's trading volume has grown by 22%, indicating a strong investor interest in the token, according to CoinGecko data.
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez remains bullish on the future of Toncoin, projecting a potential 40% breakout for TON, aiming for an impressive $11 price. However, he warns of a possible dip to $7.2 to accumulate liquidity before such an upward movement. In this scenario, key support levels of $7.78 and resistance of $8.17 will be pivotal for the token.
