Telegram Mini Apps have proven influential in 2024, especially with platforms like Notcoin and Hamster Kombat, which propelled The Open Network (TON) ecosystem's expansion. Despite this growth, TON TON $5.97 faced challenges, including a downturn in total value locked (TVL) following a period of quick expansion.

After reaching a peak TVL of $776 million in July, a drop occurred in late August with the legal issues involving Telegram CEO Pavel Durov in France. By late August, TON's TVL had dropped to $311 million, slightly recovering to $356 million in the following months.

This latest support follows a September 2024 announcement, where Bitget and Foresight Ventures disclosed a $30 million strategic investment in TON blockchain’s growth. Through this prior investment, Bitget and Foresight expressed a commitment to contributing to TON Blockchain’s governance and shaping its future direction.

In other news, MicroStrategy has made headlines by leading the way with its $20 billion investment in Bitcoin, achieving over a 100% ROI.
