Little Fatty has recently been overwhelmed by the news in the cryptocurrency space! Telegram's darling TON has skyrocketed, rising from $2.5 to $3.7 in a month, with a market cap surpassing $12 billion! This wave of market excitement has even Wall Street giant BlackRock on edge, along with Citadel and Mubadala, frantically buying $1.5 billion in bonds, which can even convert into Telegram stock. This no-risk operation makes me want to sell my spicy strips and go all in! 😱
💎 Is there a shocking secret behind institutions crazily buying up?
On May 28 (Wall Street Journal), it blew up! Telegram issued $1.5 billion in bonds, which were divided among big players like BlackRock and Citadel, and even Musk's xAI came to contribute $300 million in cash + equity as a dowry. It should be noted that BlackRock manages $10 trillion in assets and had been secretly investing in cryptocurrencies, but this time they are making a clear heavy investment in TON; this 'marriage of tech giants' has directly pushed the coin price to the moon! 🚀
💼 Former Visa executive parachuting in! Is a global payment empire being built?
On the same day, the TON Foundation dropped a bombshell—former Visa crypto business head Nikola Plecas officially joined! This guy was the mastermind behind Visa's European crypto operations and is now leading the charge to turn TON into a global payment network. In the future, sending red envelopes, buying memberships, and offline shopping on Telegram could all use TON for settlement; just imagine the payment scenarios with 1 billion users! Moreover, he is also securing compliance in over 100 countries, directly eliminating the biggest regulatory threat to TON! ⚡
👨👦 Telegram's father finally acknowledges his son! Is a 900 million user traffic pool forming?
In fact, TON's rise relies entirely on Telegram's father suddenly ramping up efforts! In March, it was announced that 50% of advertising revenue would be settled in TON, with daily transactions worth billions of dollars directly turning TON from a speculative asset into hard currency. The wallet and mini-program ecosystem is also fierce; the recently explosive Notcoin game has attracted 40 million users in three months, directly boosting TON's daily transaction volume to 1 billion! Now users must use TON to play games and buy NFTs on Telegram; this monetization of traffic is fierce! 💸
🚀 Technological breakthroughs + compliance milestones! Is it challenging Ethereum?
In addition to capital and traffic, TON technology is also undergoing rapid upgrades! The payment network L2 increases transaction speed by 100 times, and transaction fees are negligible. A cross-chain bridge is in development, and in the future, Bitcoin and Ethereum assets can directly cross chains, opening up the cryptocurrency space! There are continuous movements in compliance, with applications for payment licenses in the US and EU, and collaboration with traditional financial institutions on TON stablecoins; even the US SEC has started paying attention! 👏
📉 Should retail investors take the plunge? These three signals must be watched!
Now the market is hyping that TON can reach $10, but some say it's institutions cutting retail investors. As retail investors, we must stay vigilant:
1. Price signal: Although there is room to the historical high of $8.28, the peak of $3.21 on May 24 may trigger a correction.
2. Ecosystem signal: Notcoin users have exceeded 40 million, but other applications have not yet taken off; ecosystem diversity is a hidden danger.
3. Compliance signal: The progress of the US MSB license determines life or death; obtaining it may lead to a surge, otherwise, it could plummet ⚠️
🌟 Conclusion: Could TON be the next Alipay of the cryptocurrency world?
From $1.5 billion in institutional financing to Visa executives joining, from advertising systems to L2 networks, TON's operations are truly well-timed. Telegram's 900 million users are converting into active users; once the 'traffic-payment-value' closed loop is formed, it might really become the Alipay of the cryptocurrency world! However, the risks of cryptocurrencies are significant, so entry should be cautious, but with BlackRock and Visa supporting it, this story might really be different! 💡
Investing requires caution; the cryptocurrency market has risks, and putting all in requires careful thought! #TON #Telegram #Visa $TON
