Toncoin is now one of the top 10 cryptos by market cap

TON, the native coin of the Toncoin blockchain, has become one of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap.

The coin has added 30% to its value over the past seven days, outperforming the other major cryptocurrencies in the process. At press time, the price of Toncoin stands at $2.53, up by more than 4% in the last 24 hours.

The sustained rally comes a few days after the messaging platform Telegram endorsed the Toncoin project. At the time, Telegram’s chief investment officer, John Hyman, said,

Telegram is set to integrate the TON network into the app’s user interface. With the integration, the TON Web3 wallet would be available to over 800 million Telegram users via their settings.
