Toncoin (TON) Whales Waking up After Price Collapse

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the volatile world of cryptocurrencies, I have witnessed countless market fluctuations that would make even the most hardened investor question their sanity. The recent tumultuous journey of Toncoin is no exception.


Despite numerous challenges, Toncoin is experiencing a notable transition in the market with increased purchasing actions becoming evident. However, due to combined internal and external factors, its value has decreased approximately 20% over the past few days.

Some significant investors, often known as ‘whales’, haven’t been deterred by this significant drop in value and have instead taken advantage of it to purchase more at a lower price. A well-known whale called Shan has recently made headlines after investing $200,000 USDT, equivalent to 38,282 TON, on the Ethereum network, paying approximately $5.22 per TON.

Despite some difficulties faced by the TON asset recently, it’s being amassed by significant investors, as evidenced by this substantial transaction. The decrease in the value of Toncoin can primarily be attributed to the arrest of Pavel Durov, the inventor of the TON blockchain and founder of Telegram.

1. Durov was taken into custody in Paris and faces charges on various matters; the specific details of these charges are yet to be disclosed. After his apprehension, multiple countries have made official inquiries about the reasons for his detention, causing a wave of international diplomatic reaction. Additionally, there is ongoing speculation about whether Durov will be freed, leaving the fate of Toncoin uncertain.

1. Lately, an increase in network activity led to the temporary halt of the TON blockchain, compounded by legal problems. This disruption has further lowered the asset’s value, causing concerns about the stability of the blockchain. In response, the community and projects built on TON have collaborated to fundraise, with the aim of helping Durov financially and potentially securing his release.

The increase in purchasing, particularly by large-scale investors, suggests that some market participants remain optimistic about a potential price rise, overcoming these challenges. A substantial influx of funds into Toncoin is boosting its price beyond its recent lows, hinting at the possibility of a recovery.
