$TON

On March 15, 2025, Toncoin recorded a 67% increase in open interest (OI), reaching $169 million, following the news that Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, left France after legal restrictions. Additionally, the price of Toncoin rose 17%, to $3.45. This increase sparked discussions about the possibility of long-term accumulation or market volatility.

Durov's departure from France, after being arrested in 2024, raised concerns about regulatory issues for privacy platforms like Telegram. Historically, Toncoin's movements are related to events involving Durov, and this time, the price rose, indicating optimism.

Although the recent increase generates optimism, analysts warn about the risk of price correction and liquidation in long positions. Regarding regulation, Telegram has been adapting, disclosing government data and reaffirming its commitment to the TON blockchain, which is now its only supported blockchain.

The future of Toncoin will depend on the internal growth of the project and the conditions of the global cryptocurrency market, with investors and analysts watching the upcoming market movements.
