TON has been one of the fastest-growing chains last year. The staggering increase in total value locked (TVL) and user activity is making traders excited about its future. Its low fees and deep integration with Telegram suggest that the network may be the future of decentralization traders have been waiting for.

The TON network is one of the fastest-growing blockchains, with over 950 million active users. Despite surpassing the 1 billion milestone transactions in September 2024, the TON blockchain lacks a structured DeFi hub that will expand its reach through cross-chain interoperability and liquidity access.

Bitcoin is once again above the key level of $100k, as the markets reel for Trump’s inauguration. Most recently, markets reacted positively to more accumulation by El Salvador, one of the most Bitcoin-friendly countries in the world. Notably, this accumulation by major players will have a significant effect on the entire crypto market. One of the chains set to benefit the most is TON, currently the fastest-growing chain ever.
