The rally can be attributed to Telegram’s decision to launch the sale of anonymous numbers based on The Open Network (TON). DeFiLlama, the largest TVL aggregator for DeFi, has also started tracking TON. 

The Tegro team completed testing the Libermall NFT Marketplace on the TON testnet and intends to launch the platform in the mainnet by the end of the year, driving positive sentiments in the market.
