<p>Pantera’s optimism towards TON’s potential remains high. Ryan Barney, a partner at Pantera, stated, “We think the <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/ton-network-hits-over-140m-tvl-milestone-amid-surging-toncoin-price/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TON network</a> is still in its infancy, and we are eager to see how the Telegram user base will embrace its ecosystem and new features.”</p>
<p>In 2019, Telegram landed itself in legal trouble when it released the <a href="https://ton.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Telegram Open Network</a>. The US Securities and Exchange Commission charged that Telegram’s “Grams” tokens violated federal securities laws.Telegram and TON Issuer Inc., a subsidiary, consented in 2020 to reimburse investors $1.2 billion and pay a $18.5 million civil penalty. The Telegram-backed open-source community persisted in creating the <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/ton-blockchain-hosts-notcoin-launch-over-80-billion-tokens-airdropped/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TON blockchain</a> in spite of these obstacles.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-surge-in-ton-blockchain-activity-and-market-cap"><strong>Surge in TON Blockchain Activity and Market Cap</strong></h3>
<p>Both transactions and users on the TON blockchain have surged recently. <a href="https://tether.to/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tether’s USDT stablecoin</a> launched on the TON network in April and gained traction faster than on any other blockchain. Two months later, over 400 million USDT tokens are active on TON.</p>
<p>Additionally, Telegram-based gaming mini-apps have soared in popularity. Notcoin and Hamster Kombat, boasting millions of players and daily active users, exemplify this trend. Notcoin had 35 million players and about 10 million daily active users within five months. Hamster Kombat attracted 100 million players and 40 to 45 million daily active users. However, these figures might include bot activity.</p>
<p>Toncoin, valued at over $17.5 billion, is now the tenth-largest cryptocurrency. Its current price is <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/toncoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$7.16</a>, showing a slight increase of 0.77% from yesterday but a decrease of 5.50% over the past week, according to CoinMarketCap.</p>

<p>Besides focusing on TON, Pantera Capital, managing around $5 billion in assets, is launching a $1 billion Fund V. This fund will invest in venture capital, early-stage tokens, exceptional opportunities, and liquid tokens. Previously, Alena Shmalko from TON highlighted the ecosystem’s ambition to reach 500 million users within four years.</p>
