๐Ÿ† Yesterday marked a historic milestone: for the first time, investors gained access to a TON-holding company listed on the US stock market (ticker: VERB). This company is deploying $558 million to accumulate Toncoin โ€” never selling, only buying more over time.

โ†—๏ธ VERBโ€™s stock more than doubled on its first trading day, pushing its market cap above $1 billion and earning it unicorn status on day one. The investor list includes long-time TON supporters like Kingsway, Vy Capital, and Ribbit, alongside many new institutional backers.

๐Ÿช™ TON (The Open Network) is an infinitely scalable blockchain that we helped develop years ago to meet the needs of Telegramโ€™s hundreds of millions of users. Today, TON is the economic backbone of Telegram โ€” much like a national currency powers a countryโ€™s economy.

๐ŸŒŽ On Telegram, everything runs on TON: from payouts to creators and app developers to ad payments, mini apps and collectibles like usernames, numbers, and gifts. As a result, TON is now the #2 blockchain by daily NFT trading volume, second only to Ethereum.

๐Ÿง  Itโ€™s no surprise that Verb Technology โ€” to be rebranded as TON Strategy โ€” has chosen TON as its primary treasury asset. Itโ€™s mirroring MicroStrategyโ€™s bitcoin playbook, which let it grow from $1B to $100B+ in 5 years. The half a billion $ Verb is investing into TON is just the start.

Hey TON fam,
Some news I wanted to share directly: as of this week, Iโ€™ve officially stepped into the role of President, alongside my position as CEO.

First, a big thanks to Manny (Manuel Stotz) for his guidance this past year. From major institutional backing to supporting the U.S. launch of TON Wallet, his contribution helped steer TON into a new phase of global growth. As Executive Chairman of TON Strategy Co., heโ€™s now leading efforts to integrate Toncoin into the global financial system. If youโ€™re keen on tracking how TON fits into macro and TradFi, go give them a follow @tonstrat.

For my part, Iโ€™m honored to take on this expanded role and continue building on what we've started. My focus remains clear:

- Empower developers
- Support creators
- Drive adoption
- And work with partners across the ecosystem to Make TON Great Again

The road ahead is long but weโ€™ve got the right people, the right tech, and the right timing.

Letโ€™s go get it!

The launch of FUSE yesterday represents something bigger than just another marketplace. It's a practical demonstration of how open standards can create sustainable value for creators, communities, and the ecosystem itself.

The NFT 2.0 standard on TON is fully open. Any marketplace can integrate and build on it.

When we launched NFT 2.0, the goal was to solve the fundamental problems that plagued NFT ecosystems: unpaid royalties, creator exploitation, and unsustainable economics that prioritized speculation over utility.

FUSE is one example of this vision in action, designed to put value back into creators, Telegram, and the broader TON community. But it is not the only marketplace, nor should it be. The beauty of open standards is that they enable competition, innovation, and choice.

The first sticker stores on TON helped spark this entire narrative, showing what becomes possible when culture meets collectibles in a native blockchain environment. That pioneering work deserves recognition for proving the concept. Special thanks to @takoy_sasha for leading that charge and showing what was possible.

๐Ÿ”ฅ TON Foundation supports FUSE because it follows a model that prioritizes creators, IP holders, and long-term community sustainability.

๐Ÿšจ FUSE operates as a not-for-profit initiative, ensuring maximum value flows back to creators and the community.

โœ… Royalties stay within the ecosystem, sustaining Telegram's infrastructure while fueling a growing community fund.

This isn't about picking winners. It's about setting standards that ensure creators get paid, communities benefit from growth, and the ecosystem remains open for anyone to build upon.

By turning culture into ownership, TON empowers everyone to participate - and its professionalism makes the ecosystem a trusted destination for new brands and communities.
235๐Ÿ’ฉ292๐Ÿคฌ166โค137๐Ÿ‘119๐Ÿคฎ72๐ŸŽ‰39๐Ÿ‘Ž36๐Ÿ–•23๐Ÿ™21๐Ÿคฉ19โคโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ13
The beauty of open standards is that they make competition irrelevant to asset ownership.

It doesn't matter if you buy stickers on Sticker Store, FUSE, or any store launching tomorrow. As long as those stickers are built on the NFT 2.0 standard, they're tradable everywhere that supports the protocol.

Think OpenSea versus Blur. Same NFTs, different venues, same underlying value. You can buy on OpenSea and sell on Blur because both recognize the same Ethereum standards.

That's exactly what NFT 2.0 does on TON. Every platform implementing this standard can display, trade, and interact with stickers from any other platform.

Creators win regardless of where they mint. Their stickers aren't locked into specific platforms. The culture, community, and value all live on-chain, accessible to any interface that supports the standard.

Some people think different platforms mean different types of stickers or fragmented value. That misses the entire point of decentralized infrastructure.

This is why the TON Foundation focuses on creating robust, open standards because they enable unlimited innovation on top.

Your digital assets exist independently of any single platform. Competition between platforms becomes about user experience and creator support, not platform lock-in.

Culture and value stay on-chain while interfaces compete to serve users better.

That's the power of open standards.
