The number of transactions on decentralized exchanges of the TON network has dropped sharply. Recent data shows that the average daily users on STON.Fi have decreased to 13,300 and on DeDust to 5,250, much lower than nearly 200,000 daily users in September 2024.

Reasons for the decline:

- The cryptocurrency market at the end of 2024 is unfavorable, with low trading volumes and reduced risk appetite.

- FUD in the TON community due to the arrest of the Telegram founder, affecting trust.

- Many traders are reducing positions, opting for a more conservative strategy.

Potential opportunities:

- This moment may be a strategic opportunity for seasoned investors as the market recovers.

New trend: Shifting towards conservative strategy

- Interest is shifting from decentralized trading to conservative methods like staking, indicating a change in participant behavior, favoring predictable profits and lower risks.
