Telegram-linked Toncoin (TON) recorded massive surges in value recently, with prices pushing to new all-time highs on 9 April. The upside saw it surpassing Cardano (ADA) to rank 9th by market capitalization.

TON price jumped by over 150% within the past month to explore levels past $7 on 9 April. However, Cardano has struggled with bearishness, losing over 20% within the past month.

Meanwhile, IPO contemplation by Telegram founder Pavel Durov for the messaging platform likely fueled the upsides.

Durov told the Financial Times that Telegram approaches profitability as its user base hits 900 million. He added that savvy investors have valued the Dubai-based social app above $30 billion.

The co-founder confirmed no decision to sell Telegram while commenting on a possible future IPO for the messaging site.

Ecosystem growth driving Toncoin

Adoption and network expansion have also propelled TON prices lately. For instance, the Notcoin game’s addition to the TON network heightened user activity.

Notcoin is a Telegram-based P2E game allowing users to mint NOT tokens.

Also, the launch of Ton Fish – the coin representing a first-of-a-kind non-foundation social meme token within the Toncoin network, on Bitget was a significant move.

Negativity dumps ADA

On the other hand, Cardano has underperformed over the previous month due to negative commentary. The alt has barely recorded notable upsurges in 2024, and the lackluster attracted criticism.

American entrepreneur Arthur Hayes questioned Cardano’s ability to produce top-notch decentralized applications (dApps), whereas Gemini advised crypto buyers to avoid ADA.

The latest strategic ecosystem developments, enhanced investor interest, and calculated integrations drove TON prices to its ATHs.

Further, the project’s dedication to expanding the network indicates further adoption and continued growth for Toncoin.
