📉 Why did $TON drop from $8 to $3.5 – and is there still a chance for a comeback?

If you hold $TON  like me, it must be painful to look at the chart of the last few months. In the summer of 2024, Toncoin rose above $8, and everything looked super optimistic: high-profile listings, hype on Telegram bots, and a crazy increase in activity. But in May 2025, the price dropped to $3.5. What happened?
📉 1. The effect of an overheated ecosystem
Many people forget that the growth of $TON  was fueled mainly by bots - Hamster Kombat, Catizen, TapSwap. Thousands of users logged on to the network for airdrops. However, it was “low-quality traffic” - after airdrops, most of them simply left without any real activity.
📉 2. Decrease in transactions and addresses
In December 2024, TON processed more than 8 million transactions per day, and there were more than 1 million active addresses. In March 2025, there were less than 900 thousand transactions and 293 thousand addresses. This is a drop of more than 70%.
📉 3. Decrease in TVL
TVL in the TON network fell from $1.04B to $433M. Users withdrew liquidity because they saw no new incentives to keep tokens in the protocols.

🔁 And now the good news: a real infrastructure is emerging

Everything that happened before was hype. And hype does not last long without a foundation. And now #TON is starting to have tools that give hope.
One of them is  #Ston.fi . This is the first convenient DEX on TON that I actually use. Minimal commissions, Telegram integration, and convenient farming. This is not a “bot with jokes” - it is a DeFi that works. And if TON grows, it will grow on projects like   Ston.fi, not on pictures with hamsters.
Now I am calmly watching how the DeFi infrastructure is being formed. If things like   Ston.fi continue to develop, TON still has a chance to show a new growth cycle.
Sometimes it seems to me that this is the moment when the market is being “cleaned up” before a new start.

🧩 Finally, DeFi pools that adapt to you, not you to them
Usually, liquidity in DeFi is either “all in one token” or “God forbid you don't get burned”. But I recently came across a new thing from #STON.fi - WCPI pools, and it's really something new.
The idea is simple:
You can choose how to distribute assets in the pool. Do you want 80% in stablecoins and only 20% in risky tokens? That's easy.
If you want it the other way around, be my guest. It's kind of like a “DIY DeFi portfolio” 💼
What I learned:
🔸 More control - not a random strategy, but your own
🔸 Suitable for those who don't want or can't sit 24/7 in schedules
🔸Ideal for $STON/$TON pairs, where one asset is more stable
I'm testing it myself now and I'm enjoying the flexibility.

🟡 What's new in DeFi on $TON ? #STON.fi launches WSS pools!
STON.fi has introduced the first Weighted Stable Swap (WSS) pool, a new type of liquidity for close rate pairs. And it's a real game changer on TON.
📉 #tsTON /$TON is an asset pair with minimal volatility, and now you can trade with almost no slippage. The algorithm itself adapts to the market, keeping the exchange rate stable.
🎯 Also, farming with rewards:
🔹 Pool: tsTON/TON (WSS)
🔹 Reward: 1000 STON
🔹 No locks: can be withdrawn at any time
🔹 Till: June 6, 2025
👉 You can try it at ston.fi
