Toncoin Reaches All-Time High
Toncoin, the cryptocurrency that runs on the TON Blockchain, reached an all-time high on Thursday as new related features were introduced.
Price: Toncoin’s price hit $7.50 on Thursday. It is up 29% in the last 30 days. The price has tripled since the start of the new year.
Powering the Story: To coincide with the milestone, Telegram announced a new in-app currency on Thursday to enable payments for digital goods and services called Telegram Stars. Developers can withdraw Telegram Stars earned by their bots in Toncoins.
Also: The TON Blockchain introduced a new utility token tied to its feature-rich wallet called MyTonWallet.
Background: Toncoin has experienced an incredible rise to become a major altcoin in 2024. It benefited from the release of a Telegram social click game in May and higher trading volumes in June.
Final Thoughts: Toncoin is far from a safe investment, but it is impressive how Toncoin has emerged as a big deal in crypto this year.
