According to Odaily, Pantera Capital Management LP announced in a statement in May that Telegram is the only major platform that can incorporate Web3 into an open blockchain network without regulatory restrictions. This statement marked the company's largest investment in history, purchasing TON tokens. However, the scale of the transaction was not disclosed by Pantera.

Pantera's portfolio manager, Cosmo Jiang, stated that although the early appeal of blockchain was mainly focused on gaming and decentralized finance, 'we will see more use cases about payments and remittances in the future.' According to data from TonStat, the number of daily active users of TON recently exceeded 350,000.
