TON Ecosystem June 2025: A Record-Breaking Summer

The TON ecosystem report for June 2025 highlights remarkable achievements: the value of The Open Platform (TOP) has reached one billion dollars, capturing 62% of the global NFT trading volume, with DeFi yields hitting 63%, and real-world payments beginning to take off. Notably, the platform's valuation surged to one billion dollars thanks to investments from Ribbit Capital and Pantera Capital, making it the first unicorn in TON. The ecosystem's dominance in NFTs was exemplified by a peak daily trading volume of $9.7 million on June 9, ranking second worldwide and outpacing Ethereum and Solana significantly. Real-world crypto payments expanded through new travel mini-apps and payment tools, including a crypto card and an Indonesian crypto payment service. DeFi projects, especially @tonco_dex_bot, continue to lead with 63% annual returns for TON/USDT. The gaming sector experienced rapid growth with hundreds of thousands of players engaging in various games and tournaments, with one game, Not Pixel, accounting for 40% of all activity on TON. Telegram asset activity was vibrant, with daily gifts reaching up to $3 million during peak times and the release of new stickers and collections. Infrastructure further improved with Tolk v0.99 nearing release, enabling most smart contracts to operate smoothly. Overall, the summer of TON has just begun, promising more developments ahead.
