<p>In addition, nine out of ten assets by market capitalization ended the month in the red. According to experts, this decline was caused by news about payments to Mt. Gox and the U.S. and German governments’ movement of Bitcoins (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>) to centralized exchanges.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="growth-leaders">Growth Leaders</h3> 
<p>One of the few tokens that has grown is Toncoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/toncoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TON</a>). The asset grew by 17.5%, reaching a historical high of $8.24. Binance Research attributed this growth to the success of The Open League program and support of the ecosystem through grants. In addition, the number of active daily addresses on the network reached a record high of almost 578,000.</p> 
<p>TON has also had notable success in attracting <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/tvl/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TVL</a> inflows in sectors such as <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/telegram/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Telegram</a> mini-apps and games, <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/defi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">defi</a>, <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/nft/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFTs</a>, and memecoins.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="airdrops">Airdrops</h3>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="miners-are-selling-bitcoins">Miners are selling bitcoins</h3> 
<p>As for miners, they have been consistently selling BTC since November 2023. This is the most extended consecutive period of net sellers since 2017. As a result, BTC balances among miners reached their lowest level in the last 14 years. Analysts attribute this to halving.</p>
