$TON opinions of experts and typical publications.
Also, my view from another angle, and thoughts about this currency
I used to be an active VK user (the Russian equivalent of Facebook) and now all my work and correspondence are in Telegram. Founder Pavel Durov and future spouse Yulia Vavilova.
And everything he promised and said - everything was done!
After the forced sale of VK - the authorities 'asked' to sell the controlling stake. The management of Russia monitors every dissenter, and everyone who knows Russian understands this. But you understand, they are afraid and silent. Never mind!
Durov leaves Russia. Gains citizenship in the UAE and France. Meanwhile launching the Telegram messenger
Popular messengers and their users in 2025:
WhatsApp:
The most popular messenger in the world with approximately 2 billion active users per month, as of 2025. Year of release: 2009.
WeChat:
Ranks second in the world with approximately 1.3 billion active users per month, the majority of whom are from China. Year of release: 2011.
Telegram:
Has over 1 billion users worldwide as of March 2025. In Russia, Telegram is used by 90 million people monthly (73% of the population), making it one of the most visited resources. Year of release: 2013.
TON is the internal currency of the platform. Recently, 2,000,000,000 USDT was printed for its exchange within its infrastructure.
And $TON now has dropped to $3.4, I believe that now and in the near future is the perfect moment to buy for the long term and for futures trading of this coin!
2. Price forecasts - By 2026:
A growth to $3.83 is expected (according to Bitget) ahead of news about its launch, in Telegram for use and the printing of 2 billion USDT to support its ecosystem.
- By 2030: conservative forecasts — $3.96, optimistic — $6.15
My forecast: I am confident that in 2026 it will be closer to $10
3. A new mini-app in Telegram TON Station has launched a daily quest (Daily Combo)
Where users can earn SOON points, convertible into tokens. This enhances activity in the TON ecosystem. Conclusion: TON remains in the spotlight due to integration with Telegram, but the rate depends on the news background. We are monitoring the development of the partnership with xAI and new mini-apps.
