Toncoin outperforms Bitcoin!

According to CryptoQuant’s analysis, TON outperformed Bitcoin throughout 2024. This made the altcoin one of the few altcoins to surpass BTC in performance. While most altcoins struggled to outpace Bitcoin’s returns in 2024, TON’s exceptional performance highlighted its unique dynamic and adoption.

This performance was largely driven by growth across various aspects of Toncoin’s ecosystem. One key metric that saw a substantial surge was the Total value locked (TVL).

Toncoin’s TVL did so well thanks to growing investor confidence in the TON ecosystem and a hike in staking and liquidity. Another area that saw a surge in investors and capital inflows was Derivates.

Throughout the year, this activity hit its highest-ever value in transactions and users within the Toncoin ecosystem. The network saw more than 5 million users and 24 million transactions. Therefore, 2024 saw remarkable growth for Toncoin’s ecosystem, further showcasing the strength and utility of the ecosystem.

Significantly, if this trend continues throughout 2025, Toncoin could establish itself as the leading blockchain for the future.

What are the implications for TON’s price?

While Toncoin’s ecosystem continues to grow, its native token TON has faced significant struggles. Over the past week, for instance, TON fell by 5.09% while dropping by 16.55% on the monthly charts.

Despite its latest price fall, however, AMBCrypto’s analysis revealed that the downtrend has been exhausting. In fact, market sentiments may be turning bullish now.

For example, we can see this shift as investors are withdrawing more from exchanges than they are depositing. The netflows declined to -882.49k.

The altcoin saw 2.35 million TON in outflows, compared to 1.47 million in inflows. This suggested that investors have been starting to accumulate the altcoin.

This accumulation can also be seen among whales. In fact, the supply held by whales spiked to 781k over the past week.

On the price charts, Toncoin’s Stoch and RVGI all made a bullish crossover at press time. The crossover on the Stoch appeared 48 hours ago, with the same conforming the strengthening uptrend over the past day.

Simply put, Toncoin may be well-positioned for a reversal to the upside as the downward pressure is exhausted. With market sentiment turning positive, TON could make a significant recovery. Therefore, if this sentiment holds, TON will reclaim $5.83. However, if the bearish trend continues, it will dip to $5.
