In mid-November 2025, this development enabled users to buy, sell, swap, and store the asset directly through the website and mobile application. The TON team described the listing as a strategic milestone, emphasizing that it will make the cryptocurrency accessible to millions of new users.
The market reacted positively to the news; according to reports, Toncoin’s value rose by 4.8%, reaching $1.82. It is worth noting that prior to Coinbase, the asset was already traded on other major global platforms such as OKX, Bybit, and Binance.
Toncoin’s history, however, is somewhat complex. Originally launched in 2018 by Pavel and Nikolai Durov, the project was halted in 2020 due to regulatory challenges with U.S. authorities. It was later revived and developed by independent community members. Today, the currency is deeply integrated into the Telegram ecosystem: channels receive ad revenue in Toncoin, and the messenger’s internal "Stars" currency can be cashed out through it.
