Toncoin is waking up — and Telegram may be the spark.
Price and on-chain activity are showing fresh momentum after Telegram rolled out a self-custodial wallet in the U.S., putting TON, USDT, NFTs and basic crypto functions directly into a mainstream messaging app. For the first time, American users can send, swap and store crypto inside Telegram, a move that could push everyday usage of TON higher.
Market snapshot
- TON has risen over the past week, delivering roughly a single-digit gain as buyers returned after a mid-month pullback. The token bounced from roughly $1.45–$1.50 and pushed toward $1.63, breaking a short-term resistance band (TradingView).
- Technicals are turning constructive: the RSI has picked up, the MACD has flipped bullish, and price is pressing the upper Bollinger Band — signaling increasing volatility and growing upside momentum.
On-chain picture: users, but limited locked liquidity
- DeFi total value locked on TON remains modest — about $85 million at the time of writing — still well below previous highs, suggesting big capital hasn’t poured in yet (DeFiLlama).
- That said, stablecoin supply on the network is robust, near $960 million, and daily app revenue/fees are steady. In short: users are active and transacting, even if long-term capital commitments (liquidity in DeFi) haven’t arrived in force.
Why it matters
Telegram’s wallet integration lowers friction in a way few blockchains have managed: crypto features are now embedded into a widely used messaging platform. If adoption continues to grow organically through everyday use, TON’s transactional activity could rise quickly — with liquidity likely following, albeit at a slower pace for now.
