The rise of TON (The Open Network) is by no means accidental, but is due to the traffic of Telegram.
From a technical perspective, although TON has mechanisms such as sharding and asynchronous communication, its overall architecture has not surpassed the industry's top public chains. Compared with Solana's innovation in high-concurrency execution and Move's public chain in asset security model, TON is more about optimization and integration, and is a robust rather than disruptive design. Therefore, TON's rapid success is not solely based on technological breakthroughs.
What really drives TON's explosion is the traffic giant Telegram. With hundreds of millions of users, Telegram has successfully embedded the experience of encrypted assets into social scenarios, greatly reducing the entry threshold for users. Relying on this native traffic advantage, TON has completed the user cold start that other public chains have been difficult to achieve for many years, and quickly occupied the market's attention.
However, the development of TON is not without hidden worries. The background of the Russian team behind it has become an important issue for the US capital and regulatory system to examine. In the current global political environment, the core team from Russia makes TON naturally face a trust gap with the mainstream US capital market. For US investment institutions, Russian-related projects not only pose potential sanctions and compliance risks, but also bring additional burdens of compliance review and policy sensitivity. This geopolitical obstacle may form an invisible ceiling that cannot be ignored in TON's future global expansion, especially in the expansion of the US market.
TON's success is a victory of traffic advantage and strategy execution, but geopolitical risks also doom its development path to be not smooth. In the future, how to balance geopolitical influences will become the biggest challenge that TON must face in its continued expansion. $TON
💥Shocking Cryptocurrency Scam Exposed! The "Victim" Turned Out to Be a Gang Setting Up a 500,000 Coin Heist! Police Sweep Arrests!😱

Cryptocurrency is hard to steal; if your acting skills aren't up to par, don't force it!
Today, two important meetings are taking place globally at the same time.
One is our two major meetings, where a series of goals for this year will be announced; the other is Trump's speech in Congress, discussing how he plans to proceed next. Both meetings have stirred the hearts of global investors, and so far, it looks all positive.
First, let's talk about the U.S. They have started to rescue the market. Last night, U.S. Treasury Secretary held a meeting with several major institutional leaders while sending positive signals to the market, finally stopping the decline of U.S. stocks.
However, the key point is that Trump’s speech today did not stir up trouble; although he addressed issues like tariffs, nothing was specified or raised. The market breathed a sigh of relief.
Trump also specifically mentioned the chip bill, saying he thinks this bill should be abolished. Because the chip bill was signed by Biden, providing hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies for U.S. chip companies to develop in the AI sector, with the condition that these companies cannot cooperate with Chinese companies.
Goodness, now he wants to abolish it. Trump is both popular and specialized; he is truly a hidden comrade! However, he feels that since chip companies can make profits, why should they be subsidized? It’s unlikely to actually help China. This month, there are several risks in U.S. stocks, one of the bigger ones being his speech today, which has now been dismantled, but there is still the Federal Reserve meeting coming up, and the key point is still to see Powell's attitude in his remarks.
Now let's talk about our situation, there are a few core data points:
First, the deficit rate is set at 4%. Previously, we mainly kept it at 3, marking the first increase in the deficit rate in recent years. To clarify, this indicates the government is willing to take responsibility, meaning they are willing to provide liquidity.
Second, the inflation data is set at 2%. It used to be 3, but now the monthly CPI is in the low single digits, making the target of 3 too far-fetched. This adjustment of the target is a positive sign, indicating that the higher-ups have recognized the problems and are facing them head-on. This is a very significant positive.
Third, they will issue 1.3 trillion in special government bonds, which is slightly less than market expectations, but there is a point worth noting: they have issued 500 billion to support state-owned large commercial banks in replenishing their capital.
Rumors suggest they will rescue the banks, and this wave has landed. Why do banks, which make such large profits every day, still issue bonds? Because while banks are profitable, they also bear the significant burden of the real estate crisis. Rescuing real estate is too difficult, so it is better to support the banks as a backup.
This war has caused too many deaths; if it continues, more young people will die.

For 9 minutes and 29 seconds, Zelensky and Trump had a heated argument in the White House. It turns out that negotiations between heads of state are not much different from arguments between elderly folks on the street, haha, this show is really great! What do you all think will be the impact on the crypto market? $BTC
