TON Ecosystem Hits Unicorn Status: The Open Platform Secures $28.5M in Landmark Funding Round
Move over, traditional VCs—crypto's breeding its own unicorns now.
The Open Platform just bulldozed its way into TON history, becoming the network's first billion-dollar baby after a $28.5 million cash injection. Forget 'quiet launches'—this is Web3's version of ringing the Nasdaq bell.
Why this matters
While Wall Street still struggles with crypto custody 101, TON's ecosystem keeps minting winners. The funding proves Telegram's blockchain brainchild can play with the big boys—even if regulators still can't decide if it's a security or a commodity.
Bonus jab: That $28.5M could've bought 28.5 million Robinhood users a free stock—but why bother when you're building the actual infrastructure?
