The Open Network (TON) is experiencing a resurgence in interest from both institutional and retail investors, highlighted by several developments that could enhance its market position. With a treasury announcement of $780 million by Verb Technology Company and its integration with Ledger Live for staking, experts suggest these factors may propel the blockchain into its next growth phase.
This uptick follows a substantial private placement of $558 million and TON’s exclusive adoption by Telegram for its applications, underlining the significant interest and resources converging around the network.
Verb Technology Strategic Shift with $780 Million Treasury
Verb Technology Company has revealed that its treasury assets exceed $780 million, consisting of $713 million in Toncoin and $67 million in cash reserves. Soon to be rebranded as Ton Strategy Company, it is the first publicly listed entity to use Toncoin as its primary treasury reserve asset.
This announcement follows a recent private placement of $558 million earlier this month, backed by over 110 institutional and crypto-native investors, with the majority of proceeds directed toward acquiring Toncoin.
Verb aims to accumulate over 5% of the circulating supply of TON while consistently increasing its Toncoin per share through reinvested cash flows, staking rewards, and treasury management.
Ledger Live Expands Access to TON Staking
Meanwhile, P2P.org, a staking service provider, has announced the launch of native TON staking within Ledger Live. This development makes staking available to millions of Ledger hardware wallet users, offering secure, non-custodial participation in the network.
This validator-based solution marks the first of its kind in Ledger Live, significantly lowering the minimum staking requirement from 300,000 TON to just 10 TON, making it more accessible than ever.
Users benefit from institutional-grade security standards, following audits by Quantstamp and Trail of Bits. The integration allows for staking and unstaking with activation and withdrawal times as short as 36 hours, while current returns are around 4.7% annually.
On-Chain Metrics Reflect Strengthening Market Position
According to CryptoQuant, TON’s Sharpe ratio moved from negative to positive in August, indicating an improvement in risk-adjusted returns—a sign of sustained momentum.
Additionally, metrics such as daily active addresses are on the rise, further reinforcing the perception of increased traction on the network. Crypto analyst Crash recently stated on X that TON could be the catalyst for the next wave of cryptocurrency wealth, asserting, “The next class of crypto millionaires will emerge on TON, not Solana or Ethereum.”
Telegram Integration Enhances TON’s Mainstream Adoption
Beyond financial and technical growth, Telegram has adopted TON as the exclusive blockchain for its mini-apps, wallets, and payments, serving over a billion users worldwide. This partnership provides TON with unparalleled exposure compared to most other layer-1 blockchains, embedding it firmly within the mainstream digital ecosystem.
The combination of substantial treasury reserves, broader public access to staking, and integration with one of the largest messaging platforms globally positions TON for sustained expansion.
