Telegram’s 2025 decision to allow TON blockchain ad payments has boosted TON coin’s utility, with 500 million users now able to spend TON directly. TON’s price surged 30% to $10, pushing its market cap to $25 billion—ranking it 12th. Entering the top 10, currently led by Solana at $40 billion, requires a 60% gain. Ad payments could drive $1 billion in annual transactions, but TON faces challenges: its 500 TPS lags behind Solana’s 1,000, and Telegram’s regulatory scrutiny in Europe may deter adoption. While TON’s integration offers a strong use case, competition from established players like XRP and ADA, plus a potential market correction, may cap its rise. TON might reach the top 10 by 2026 if adoption accelerates.

These measures not only protected participants' identities but also helped improve user trust in the ecosystem, reducing the risk of scams and data breaches.
