TON Foundation Discloses Leading VCs Invest Over $400M in Toncoin
TON Foundation has disclosed over $400M in Toncoin investments from leading venture capital firms, including Sequoia Capital, Ribbit, Benchmark, Kingsway, Vy Capital, Draper Associates, Libertus Capital, CoinFund, Hypersphere, SkyBridge, and Karatage. This influx of support further cements TON Blockchain's status as a leading force in decentralized technology.
How will this support fuel growth? Peter Fenton, Partner at Benchmark said it best:
“Telegram’s user base, which is expected to grow to over 1.5 billion through 2030, creates an unprecedented opportunity in the history of humanity to provide ubiquitous financial flows that have been limited until now to information flows, TON provides the backbone for human-scale democratization of financial activity.”
