TON Breaks Above $3 as Telegram Gains Users Amid WhatsApp Ad Push

20 June 2025

WhatsApp’s move to introduce ads is driving users toward Telegram, boosting activity across Telegram’s ecosystem and fueling a remarkable 140% surge for its native cryptocurrency, TON, so far in 2024.

This week, TON crossed the psychologically significant $3 mark, propelled by strong bullish momentum and trading volumes nearly three times higher than the average for the period.

The token’s rally aligns with growing interest in Telegram’s platform as users seek ad-free, crypto-integrated alternatives to traditional messaging apps. As more users migrate, TON is increasingly viewed as a beneficiary of this shift, underpinned by both retail and institutional demand.

Despite periods of volatility, TON has maintained an upward trajectory and established solid support levels, reflecting deeper institutional participation and expanding adoption of Telegram’s blockchain infrastructure.

Technical Analysis Highlights

• TON has formed a clear uptrend, posting higher lows and higher highs, and recently broke key resistance at $2.97 on strong volume.
• Support has solidified around $2.94, with a fresh support level emerging at $2.982 following recent price swings.
• Trading volume during the 8:00 hour exceeded 3 million units—nearly triple the average—indicating potential institutional accumulation.
• A pronounced V-shaped recovery pattern emerged amid recent volatility, with significant volume spikes during both the selloff (75,822 units) and the rebound (92,561 units).
• The successful reclaiming of the $2.995 level after a correction has reinforced the broader bullish outlook.

TON’s technical strength and the broader narrative of Telegram’s rising popularity suggest further upside potential as 2024 progresses.
