How Binance and Bitget are Driving TON Ecosystem Growth

Telegram Open Network (TON) ecosystem might be the hottest space in crypto right now. We can see this by the interest of two of the biggest crypto exchanges, Binance and Bitget are cozying up to the project.  Their actions, from major listings to the establishment of ecosystem funds, demonstrate their belief in TON’s potential to reshape the crypto landscape.

Both exchanges are actively enhancing the TON ecosystem’s infrastructure, with Binance focusing on trading innovations and Bitget offering comprehensive project support. 

Binance’s Commitment to the TON Ecosystem

1. Listing of DOGS: Binance listed DOGS by aligning its launch with International Dog Day, August 26. This listing is part of a broader approach to integrate TON-based tokens into Binance’s product offerings.
2. Perpetual Futures Contracts: Binance announced the launch of the $DOGSUSD COIN-M Perpetual Futures Contract, which will allow traders to engage in futures trading with TON-based assets starting on September 10, 2024. 
3. Binance Simple Earn – TON Locked Products: Binance also introduced TON to its Simple Earn platform with up to 5.9% APR. This move by Binance incentivizes holding TON and further increases liquidity for the token on the Binance exchange.

Bitget’s Investment and Ecosystem Support

1. $20 Million TON Ecosystem Fund: In June 2024, Bitget in collaboration with Foresight Ventures launched a $20 million fund aimed at supporting early-stage projects on TON. 
2. TON Mainnet Integration in Bitget Wallet: Bitget has also integrated TON into its wallet, enabling its 12 million users to connect to the TON network, manage assets, and perform on-chain transactions. Bitget’s wallet now supports key features of the TON ecosystem, including DApp interaction and token trading.
3. Telegram Signal Bot: Bitget launched the Telegram Signal Bot, enhancing the efficiency of trading signals across Telegram communities. 

Airdrops and Community Support

• DOGS Airdrop: Binance has facilitated the massive airdrop of DOGS tokens, with 60% of the total supply allocated to users and the rest reserved for liquidity and partnerships.
• TON Ecosystem Airdrop Support: Bitget’s support for TON also includes facilitating projects within its Tap2Earn zone, where users can engage in TON-based activities to earn rewards, further driving user engagement in the ecosystem.

The growing involvement of both Binance and Bitget is a clear indicator of the TON ecosystem’s potential. The integration of TON across both exchanges, along with strategic listings and funding initiatives, underscores their belief in the long-term viability of TON, particularly given its strong ties to Telegram’s vast user base. With increasing liquidity, multiple listings, and support for early-stage projects, Binance and Bitget are key drivers of the mass adoption of the TON ecosystem.
