Telegram’s Toncoin Surges to $7 in Key Rally

Although we are just five months into the year, 2024 has proven to be massively important for cryptocurrencies. Indeed, the digital asset sector has seen a variety of assets surge in value throughout the year thus far. Although April had exuded a market-wide correction, plenty of those tokens are back to the ongoing upward trajectory.

Among them are the Telegram-integrated and The Open Network native token, Toncoin (TON), which has rallied as much as 17% today to trade over the $7 mark. Indeed, the asset briefly touched the $7.20 level, which was its highest mark in more than three weeks.

The increase is aligned with an overall market bounce back, with TON still outperforming the positive network. Additionally, the value increase is likely tied to the impending arrival of Telegram’s Notcoin game. Indeed, the game’s native token, NOT, is set to launch on May 16th and will be minted on The Open Network.

The NOT coin is already set to be supported by prominent cryptocurrency exchanges. Among those are the platforms Binance, Bybit, and OKX, according to the TON blockchain. In preparation for the launch, Binance offers 3 billion coins to its users who stake the platform’s BNB or FDUSD stablecoins.

Additionally, OKX also unveiled a reward program for TON stakes. Altogether, these developments have been important to TON’s recent surge. Moreover, it carries over from a recent Panerra Capital investment into TON.

That investment drove the asset price when it was unveiled earlier this month. Although it was an undisclosed sum, the firm discussed the token’s Telegram integration. Specifically, it was cited as the leading factor in its investment decision.
