Closely tied to popular messaging platform Telegram, The Open Network (TON) has seen an upswing in network activity with stablecoin transfer volumes climbing to an all-time high on July 4.

On Thursday, the TON blockchain saw more than $299 million in USDT transfer volume, the highest single-day figure since Tether rolled out its US dollar-pegged stablecoin on the network in April, according to blockchain analytics firm Artemis. Despite hitting a record level, TON’s daily transfer volume on Thursday pales in comparison to Ethereum’s daily USDT volume of $7.7 billion.

TON’s USDT transfer volume on Thursday was also still less than Arbitrum’s at $564.72 million, and Solana’s at $505.9 million.

In the past 24 hours, the top two applications by stablecoin transfer volume on the TON blockchain are the decentralized exchanges, DeDust and STON.fi. Following behind are centralized exchanges such as Binance, MEX Global, Bitfinex, Bybit, and Bitget.

The supply of USDT on TON has grown to $560 million, boosting the network’s total locked value to $655.26 million at press time from $144.85 million on April 19, the day of Tether’s USDT launch on the TON blockchain, according to data from DefiLlama.

“A new wave of mini apps on Telegram is coming, and Hamster Kombat is now leading the pack. Its amazing growth shows the viral potential of the Telegram mini app platform,” Durov wrote.

The price of TON, the native cryptocurrency for the Telegram-associated blockchain network, decreased by 4.2% in the last seven days. However, over the past year, the token’s price increased by 430% to trade at $7.25, according to CoinGecko.
