Toncoin (TON), the cryptocurrency token of the Telegram-supported TON Blockchain, is trading higher on the day amid signs of renewed investor interest.<\/p>\n
On Friday, the Toncoin price hovered at $1.30 as large holders, or \u201cwhales,\u201d scooped up more tokens. The accumulation comes amid a tentative broader market recovery.<\/p>\n
\u200bToncoin price tests $1.30 zone amid whale accumulation<\/h2>\n
Toncoin\u2019s price has climbed 4% in the past 24 hours, hovering near the critical $1.30 resistance zone.<\/p>\n
The token reached an intraday high of $1.32 during the Asian trading session.<\/p>\n
Buyers helped push trading volume up, with the metric spiking 104% as of writing to $160 million, marking a 45% increase from the previous day\u2019s average.<\/p>\n
This uptick arrives as Bitcoin holds above $71,000 amid bets on a new leg to $80,000.<\/p>\n
Notably, TON\u2019s momentum aligns with this backdrop, particularly as the network\u2019s 100 largest whale addresses have collectively scooped up an additional 189,730 $TON over the past three months.<\/p>\n
This accumulation persists despite broader market headwinds.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven with the #29-ranked coin in crypto losing two-thirds of its market cap since its local top in early August 2025, this heavy accumulation is a promising sign that a relief rally may come quickly once crypto markets finally turn the page from this bear cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Whale activity often points to fresh confidence in a project, and the aggressive buying shows interest in Toncoin\u2019s underlying ecosystem.<\/p>\n
The token is tied to the Telegram-integrated TON blockchain, which continues to expand through decentralized applications and mini-apps.<\/p>\n
TON price is looking to bounce higher as the community cheers the Catchain, an upgrade designed to boost network throughput and block processing capacity.<\/p>\n
In a post on X, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov commented on how bullish this upgrade is for Toncoin, noting that it marks the first step in a 7-stage Make TON Great Again (MTONGA) vision.<\/p>\n
\n
The TON blockchain just got upgraded and is now 10\u00d7 faster.<\/p>\n
Block rate increased 6\u00d7. <\/p>\n
Transactions are now instant, subsecond.<\/p>\n
This was step 1 of 7 to Make TON Great Again (MTONGA). <\/p>\n
Next step: cut the already low transaction fees by 6\u00d7.<\/p>\n
