#Forbes paid attention to $TON
Media is one of the most powerful tools of influence. What the media reports about one part of people simply reads at leisure, while the other, more prudent, carefully analyzes for market fluctuations, and that's why I'm writing this post
What was that article?
In a recent issue of #ForbesBillionaires
Digest, Forbes Russia wrote that Mr. Freeman (creator of Tonnel, one of #Telegram 's largest mini-apps) gave Pavel Durov a rare #nft gift, namely the #1 Plush Pepe. By the way, the gift itself cost $14,850 $TON, which is equivalent to $47,000.
Forbes itself quite rarely writes about cryptocurrencies and web3 world, the last time was Justin Sun ($TRX ) and his #Tron , but there was a unique occasion, and therefore I think we should take a closer look at this one.
I think that this kind of publicity cannot go unnoticed, so in the long run, if major news outlets write about the TON ecosystem, volumes can go up, and with volumes will come APR in the liquidity pools on STON.fi (the leading DEX on the TON blockchain). By the way, there is farming in some of the pools now. Farming is a feature on STON.fi referring to these liquidity pools where liquidity providers are given extra rewards for providing. Here are some of the farms:
JRK/TON: 341% APR
MRDN/TON: 159% APR
PUNK/TON: 76% APR
