Toncoin (TON) Soars 36% as Telegram Takes Drastic Control

After Pavel Durov revealed Telegram’s upcoming developments Toncoin (TON) experienced a 36% increase. The plan is simple on the surface. Telegram will take control of The Open Network. The organization will stop operating as The Open Network. The organization will reduce all fees to almost zero. The organization will function as the primary validator for the network.

At the current moment Toncoin has a market price of $1.86. The value shows a significant increase through the day. However, the overall situation continues to show severe difficulties. The token currently trades at 77% less than its peak value of $8.25 which occurred in September 2024. The rally exists as a genuine market movement although its distance from normalcy remains extensive.

Toncoin Surge Follows Telegram’s Power Move

Toncoin reacts to Telegram’s increased involvement with the cryptocurrency. Analysts say this is not new. The price increase occurs because of the market narrative. The price movement depends on the story. The fundamental market elements need time to develop.

Durov committed to delivering system enhancements within three weeks. The system will receive two new tools which will increase its operational efficiency while creating an improved user experience through system enhancement. The domain ton.org shows upcoming modifications because it has switched ownership to different parties.

Fees in TON have dropped 6× — to nearly zero.

Next step — Telegram replaces the TON Foundation as the driving force behind TON and becomes its largest validator.

The focus shifts to tech superiority.

Price movement has encountered resistance at the $2 level, which now functions as a fixed ceiling. The price has reached a rejection point. Momentum indicators currently display warning signals. The daily RSI shows overbought conditions. The situation usually results in a pause or a decline.

Toncoin Faces Test After Upgrade Hype Fades

Some analysts expect a pullback once the upgrade goes live. Traders may lock in profits and the excitement may cool. The same thing happened with major upgrades on other chains. Lower fees helped users, but not all users experienced price benefits.

Lower fees can bring more users to the platform which will result in more wallet creations and increased transaction activity. The system will lose direct token value because of these changes. The network needs to provide users with Toncoin reasons to maintain their holdings instead of using it for transactions.

Meanwhile, the ecosystem is heating up. Meme coins tied to the network surged hard. Some posted triple-digit gains in a day. However, Toncoin stands at a turning point. The vision is bold, the execution will decide the rest.
