Tether has strategically broadened its stablecoin offerings to include The Open Network (TON), an originally Telegram-developed blockchain platform.
This integration introduces Tether’s USDT, with a market cap of $108 billion, and XAUT, a gold-backed stablecoin, onto TON’s ecosystem.
Although not officially announced yet, Tether’s transparency page indicates its total authorized amount of $10 million on the TON blockchain.
TON operates as an independent layer-1 blockchain following Telegram’s exit due to regulatory pressures. Despite this, TON has demonstrated significant growth. Tonstat data shows a surge in monthly active addresses from under 100,000 to over 1.7 million within six months.
Hosting Tether’s stablecoins on TON aligns with Telegram’s recent operational changes. Telegram has notably adopted TON’s native cryptocurrency, Toncoin, for advertising payments, replacing euros.
"Anyone can now promote their bot or channel with budgets starting from a few Toncoins. When creating a Telegram ad, you select the specific channels for it to appear, giving you full control over context," explained Telegram.
Stablecoins like USDT and XAUT play vital market roles by reducing the typical volatility of digital currencies. Anchored to stable assets like the US dollar and gold, these coins serve as a safe haven during market fluctuations, making them an essential component of traders' and investors' portfolios.

The highly anticipated Bitcoin 'halving' event occurs
Recent halvings have historically led to substantial increases in value over time, yet experts warn that such outcomes are not guaranteed to recur.
According to the cryptocurrency analysis company CoinGecko, the rare halving event for Bitcoin has just occurred.
This event significantly reduces the amount of new Bitcoin introduced into the market by halving the rewards that Bitcoin miners receive.
Occurring approximately every four years, this event is intended to limit the total supply to 21 million by the year 2140. As a result, only 450 new Bitcoins will be generated daily.
Previous halvings occurred in 2012, 2016, and 2020, a mechanism that was embedded in Bitcoin’s original programming.
Following the halving, the price of Bitcoin held steady at $63,747 (£51,531), with analysts suggesting that the market had already accounted for the expected changes.
Investors remain hopeful for substantial increases, similar to past events, where, for instance, the price at the May 2020 halving was around $8,600, which escalated to over $56,000 a year later.
Andrew O'Neill, a cryptocurrency analyst at S&P Global, expressed his reservations about relying on past halving events as predictors of future pricing.
He emphasized that the halving is just one of many elements that could influence the market price, according to Mr. O'Neill.

SEC approves rule change to allow creation of ether ETFs
The SEC has approved a rule change Thursday that would pave the way for ETFs that buy and hold ether, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrencies.
The decision comes less than six months after the Securities and Exchange Commission approved bitcoin ETFs. Those funds have proven to be a big success for the industry, with net inflows already surpassing $12 billion, according to FactSet.
Late May had long been pegged as a potential decision date for the ether funds since it coincided with a deadline for the SEC to decide whether the VanEck Ethereum ETF could proceed.
Many of the companies that sponsor bitcoin ETFs — including BlackRock, Bitwise and Galaxy Digital — have also started the process of the launching an ether fund.
The price of ether rose just 2%, although it follows a 20% surge from earlier in the week in anticipation of Thursday’s decision. Some investors may also be on pause, as the SEC’s rule change approval does not guarantee that all the funds will launch.
Specifically, the SEC’s order approves applications from various exchanges to list eight different ether funds. The order technically does not approve the funds themselves or set a date for the ETFs to begin trading.
Ether ETFs are expected to be smaller, at least initially, than their bitcoin counterparts. The Grayscale Ethereum Trust currently has about $11 billion in assets, much smaller than what the firm’s bitcoin fund was before its conversion.
The approval of the ether ETFs is a sign that the SEC’s stance toward crypto may be softening after a series of legal fights. The agency lost a lawsuit against Grayscale in 2023 that spurred the approval for the bitcoin products.
The SEC’s push to regulate crypto has also come under scrutiny by politicians. The Senate last week passed a resolution to withdraw an SEC staff bulletin about accounting rules for digital assets.
