United States Redbook retail sales year-on-year for the week ending July 18

Connecting the web2 and #web3# worlds seems like a daunting task and a serious mission, the result of which could attract a massive amount of liquidity to the blockchain. And this is exactly what TON, together with #Telegram#, is working on right now. In my opinion, $TON has already done a lot for the entire cryptocurrency space - it has attracted a multitude of enthusiasts who were previously completely unfamiliar with this field. Take, for example, the much-criticized Hamster Kombat, but thanks to it, many people started using blockchain for the first time. Speaking of Telegram, it’s worth mentioning the tools being integrated into it. For instance, recently, @wallet (a crypto wallet directly within the messenger) integrated STONfi, the largest #DEX# in The Open Network. By the way, STONfi also offers numerous liquidity pools with high APRs: • BLUM/TON: 238% APR • JETTON/TON: 48% APR • STON/USDT: 21% APR (IL Protection)

What can save the $TON ecosystem besides Pavel Durov? Many do not even realize the potential of using $TON as the main blockchain. On this blockchain, you can send tokens to liquidity pools on STON FI and earn profit, you can create projects and have the opportunity to receive funding from STON FI as part of the grant program. In fact, the $TON blockchain has long been able to exist without support from Pavel Durov, but it will be difficult to achieve all goals in the long run. Today's $TON blockchain represents the largest DEX - STON FI, Telegram gifts, and much more. While the tokens and $TON itself are growing - many percentages in the liquidity pools on STON FI are showing rapid growth. If you closely examine what the blockchain $TON has existed on for the past six months, when Pavel Durov was not paying enough attention, you will see that all innovations and attention were attracted by - STON FI. In just the first half of 2025, OMNISTON - a liquidity aggregator - was launched, which ensures that your exchange rate is the best. All this is due to the aggregation of different sources of liquidity from the $TON blockchain. In early June, a joint venture was launched with ETHENA LABS, where you can farm Ethena Points through STON FI and subsequently receive an airdrop. While the market is growing and blockchain activity is increasing, you can farm liquidity pools on STON FI: $PX / $TON 28% $LABR / $TON 15%

Are there short-term development prospects for $TON and $SOL? Most are only interested in the short-term prospects of project developments, blockchains, and shitcoins. This mindset doesn't always work, especially if you are in the $TON ecosystem. In today's world, where everything is changing rapidly - we need to seek different solutions to problems. As of today, the most important project that can exist long-term is - STON FI. This project represents a reliable AMM DEX platform. Most wallets and applications have integration with STON FI as the main service that can literally do everything. You can supply your tokens to liquidity pools and earn Profit from it. Right now, many whale wallets are surely doing just that. The market is full of risks, and there is a solution to reduce them - put tokens in liquidity pools on STON FI. On the $SOL blockchain, the situation is similar. Since the outflow of liquidity from shield coins, the main activity has been supplying tokens to liquidity pools through METEORA. Surely not everyone wants to do a lot of unnecessary actions when they are in the $TON ecosystem. This place has unique features. The blockchain data has greater growth potential than $SOL, but is currently in decline due to a lack of interest from the community. While the market is in a low volatility state, you can farm liquidity pools on STON FI: $PX / $USDT 88% $NOT / $TON 15%

When will the decline and dip of the entire $TON ecosystem end, and who will do it? Many are asking when the $TON ecosystem will start eliminating competitors again and setting new personal records for trading volumes on DEX and TVL. In the current phase of the market, this is hardly possible, especially when the continuation of the existence of the blockchain $TON is only supported by 1 team - STON FI. Only two major events have already taken place this year. The first and main event for the whole $TON is the launch of OMNISTON. Next in significance was the launch of the program for transient losses. In this competition, the main task of the STON FI team is to attract the attention of new users to liquidity pools by reimbursing up to $100 per person for ( impermanent losses. The newest and most popular liquidity pool is now: $BLUM / $TON 32% This project was released quite recently and continues to hold leading positions in popularity among users. I think that if Pavel Durov seriously takes on the development of the $TON ecosystem again, it is possible that $TON will be able to compete again with the main competitor - $SOL. While the $TON blockchain market is dipping, you can farm liquidity pools on STON FI: $BOMB / $TON 15% $MEMHASH / $TON 12%

Listings in the current market phase = an obvious failure for $TON? Many observed the recent two listings of projects on $TON - $BOMB and $BLUM. It was obvious to everyone that despite the project launching on $TON while the entire market is falling, it will immediately drop. There is no point in talking about what kind of projects they are, both of them are stuck in the long-gone era of mini app applications in Telegram. Despite the failed listing - many could send tokens from the airdrop to the liquidity pool on STON FI at a good interest rate and earn profit from it: $BOMB / $USDT 10% $BLUM / $TON 27% In the current phase of the market, if projects come out on $TON, it is more profitable to immediately place them in the liquidity pool on STON FI and earn profit from it. Alternatively, you can sell through a DEX with a convenient interface and possibly at a higher price - STON FI. It often happens that on DEX the price is higher than on CEX exchanges, and in this situation, it is more profitable to dump on STON FI and earn profit from it. While the market is falling, you can farm liquidity pools on STON FI: $PX / $USDT 243% $PX / $TON 121%
