TON Blockchain Is The Best Opportunity Right Now In Defi?

Added: 2026-05-09

[00:00:00]Good morning, guys. I hope you're well.

[00:00:01]So, today we're going to discuss TON.

[00:00:03]So, TON seems like it's the very early start of what might be TON season. They might be in a position where the meme coin start to run. So, picking them up now might be profitable. So, Pavel said fees on TON have dropped six times. They have dropped under a cent, so it's much cheaper. I remember it was like 20 cents or something like that to trade. And Telegram has replaced the TON Foundation driving force that become the number one validator. Why this is important is they are literally in a position where they got a billion users at their fingertips. It's more powerful than Binance in a way. So, think BNB chain level.

[00:00:43]And because if they can tap into all those people that use Telegram and onboard them, then the chain's going to be probably one of the biggest around. That's that in theory is how it can go. Now, if you click their website, nothing comes up.

[00:00:56]It just says coming soon, blah blah blah. So, I guess they're going to make some changes, some upgrades, things like that. Now, the problem with TON that I find, if we have a look, this is just a general trending page.

[00:01:08]We've got one, two, three coins on the first little bit, which is really good.

[00:01:13]There are some coins that are absolutely running. This one I called yesterday about 20 mil. And I didn't call it. I just said, "Look at this one running, blah blah blah."

[00:01:22]But look at this. It's gone sort of majorly parabolic. There's some big guys pushing this, I guess. And liquidity is there. Like, it's not a small liquidity token. This is I think the default the meme is the default sticker on Telegram. So, the little GIF or something like that. So, it seems like TON is doing well. Now, two problems I find with TON why I don't like it.

[00:01:43]Number one is the wallets. There is no, you know, enterprise level wallet.

[00:01:48]There's, you know, TON finder or something like that. All the wallets I've used just seem like someone made it or forked it, and it's not as good. So, there really needs to be a push on a good wallet or onboard in MetaMask or even MetaMask is horrible, but like something like Phantom, Rabby.

[00:02:06]We need something like that. But you can see here the volume was under like three mil at one like few days back. And I always check these things.

[00:02:15]But they have two DEXes. And the DEXes aren't spectacular in terms of that. So, that's the second problem. But if we think back to Solana's early days, Radium was the worst DEX. It was probably the only DEX that people used. But it was the worst DEX around. So, I'm going to check quickly. I mean, good APY on some of these. This one's got a good APR. Obviously, the volume's high on that, but you're going to see probably some of these old coins. So, look for ones that are probably central exchange listed. I mean, the volume is going to come on chain first, and then it will come through the others. So, it just depends.

[00:02:54]Pavel seems like he's, you know, inevitable. This guy never tweets about anything, but like he he doesn't get involved in the chain. He just says, "Yeah, TON Foundation, blah blah blah."

[00:03:04]So, if he pushes, he's got more power than Binance, than CZ, definitely more than Tolly. So, if he interacts with something, the first time he does, it'll get weaker as it goes. Just words of advice. It'll probably be the main one running. And he's a clever guy, very clever. And respected. I respect him a lot. And there's not a lot of people I respect. So, have a look, scan the chain, get set up.

[00:03:33]Keep some little small money into some coins. I'm going to be having a look, but TON could be an opportunity.
