On-Chain Metrics and Investor Interest
It wasn’t just the price that spiked; the asset’s on-chain metrics also saw a spike. CEO Durov’s arrest unintentionally sparked investors’ interest as it attracted a wave of new users.
According to data from IntoTheBlock, the Toncoin network saw 43.08 million active funded addresses before Durov was arrested. The number has now increased by one million, reaching 44.02 million. This suggests that in the three days following Durov’s arrest, the number of TON wallets that have been funded has increased by almost one million.
