Toncoin extended its rally on Wednesday, climbing to a new local high of 
$2.215 and bringing its three-day gain to more than 60%, as traders continued 
to price in Telegram’s deeper role in The Open Network. With the move, TON 
reaches it highest price since mid-November last year following fresh comments 
from Telegram founder Pavel Durov, who argued that Telegram becoming TON’s 
largest validator would strengthen decentralization rather than weaken it. The 
rally marks TON’s sharpest short-term moves this year. Market data showed 
Toncoin trading near the $2.10–$2.20 zone on Wednesday, with Kraken listing a 
24-hour high of $2.20 and OKX showing TON at $2.215 earlier in the session. 
The token remains well below its prior all-time high near $8.25, but the 
latest move has quickly reset near-term market structure after months of muted 
price action. Durov Post Fuels Toncoin Rally Durov’s latest post on X added a 
new layer to the market narrative. On May 5, he said Telegram becoming TON’s 
largest validator “strengthens decentralization.” He wrote: “Telegram becoming 
TON’s largest validator strengthens decentralization. It lets other major 
players join the validator pool without centralizing the network — with 
Telegram as the counterbalance. More and more TON gets locked in validation as 
everyone competes for 20%+ APR.” Related Reading: TON Jumps 30% As Durov Says 
Telegram Will Take The Lead That statement came shortly after Durov said on 
May 4 Telegram would replace the TON Foundation as the main driving force 
behind TON and become the network’s largest validator. In the same post, he 
said TON fees had dropped sixfold “to nearly zero,” while a new TON website, 
new developer tools and performance upgrades were expected within two to three 
weeks. For the market, the timing matters. TON’s rally did not begin with a 
generic ecosystem update. It followed a direct Telegram-led roadmap: lower 
fees, stronger infrastructure, better developer tooling and a validator shift 
that ties the network more closely to the messaging platform’s distribution.

Market Weakness The key debate now is whether Telegram’s larger role makes TON 
more credible or more centralized. On paper, becoming the largest validator 
gives Telegram greater influence over the network’s security layer. In a 
proof-of-stake system, validators help maintain network stability and security 
by committing large amounts of the native token. TON’s own documentation 
describes validators and nominator pools as core parts of the network’s 
security model. Thus, the optics are complicated. TON was originally created 
as the Telegram Open Network before later moving into a more independent 
foundation-led structure. Toncoin as the native cryptocurrency of The Open 
Network was originally developed in 2018 and later transitioned to the TON 
Foundation. Telegram now moving back into the central operational role 
represents a major shift in how the market is likely to assess TON’s 
governance and execution risk. At press time, TON traded at $2.263. Featured
