💡 Who benefited from the hype around TON and the 'visa for crypto' in the UAE?

1. 💰 Owners and investors in TON (The Open Network)

The more interest there is in the coin, the higher the price. The PR campaign linking TON with 'elite emigration' or the purchase of visas created an image of TON as a 'practical cryptocurrency' with real applications. This stimulated FOMO and attracted retail investors.

2. 📈 Large holders and market makers

They could take advantage of the excitement to sell tokens at the peak when the price was overheated due to the news. Such participants often use information leaks as a tool for speculation.

3. 🏝 Immigration agencies and consulting companies in the UAE

Packaging the 'visa for crypto' theme allowed attracting a new audience - crypto enthusiasts and investors looking for a safe jurisdiction. Even if TON was not directly used for visa payments, the association with emigration added value to the coin in the eyes of the public.

4. 📲 Telegram and Ton Foundation (indirectly)

Although officials did not make statements about 'residences', the increased recognition of TON boosts interest in the Telegram ecosystem (bots, TON Space, Wallet), which potentially leads to an increase in the user base.
