$TON recently announced its UAE Golden Visa staking program, promoting it as an innovative gateway to residency. However, under the surface, there are significant concerns.

Investors are required to lock up a minimum of $100,000 worth of TON for three years, with an annual yield of only 3–4%. Given TON’s price volatility, even this modest return is far from guaranteed in real terms.

The biggest issue lies in official validation. Multiple UAE government agencies have denied that there is any Golden Visa program accepting digital assets alone. This suggests TON’s program is likely a private, partner-based service rather than a government-backed process, meaning the residency path may not be as simple or certain as marketed.

TON’s price saw a short-lived spike following the announcement, but quickly corrected once the government denials emerged. Many investors are now questioning whether this was merely a promotional tactic, with doubts rising about whether anyone will actually secure residency through the program.

Ultimately, participants risk facing a three-year lock-up, uncertain legal outcomes, and high fees, with no clear residency guarantee in return. Approaching this program with caution is crucial, as its risks could far outweigh its marketed benefits.
