Impact on the TON ecosystem
Short-term negative impact:
As a key figure behind TON, Durov's legal troubles have put a short-term freeze on the TON ecosystem, and the future direction and stability have become a problem. The market also doubts whether TON's decentralization is true, and everyone will pay attention to whether the project is too dependent on the founder.
Increasing regulatory pressure:
Once Durov was arrested, the government set its sights on TON. Encrypted chat and decentralized platforms became the focus of attention, especially for fear that they would be used for bad things. Now, other countries may also join in the fun and investigate TON, which will increase the pressure of compliance.
Long-term potential:
TON relies on the umbrella of decentralization to withstand the wind and rain in the long run. If the community can run on its own and be successful without relying on the founder, then TON's independent brand will be more famous and attract more friends to play.
Impact on Telegram
Challenges of user trust:
Telegram's minor failure may have caused users to question its security performance. If the anti-crime measures are not hardcore, users will have to reconsider whether the platform is safe.
Adjustment of business strategy:
If Durov is embroiled in a long-term lawsuit, Telegram will have to change its strategy and conduct strict content review. Faced with the heavy regulatory pressure, it may have to step up the review, user experience may be compromised, and growth will slow down.
Possibility of bargain hunting:
Bold investors may think that the market fluctuations are a good opportunity to pick up bargains. If TON and Telegram can rebound strongly, market confidence may return immediately. But I am not very confident about this. Investors have to watch how these two companies deal with the Durov incident and how they adjust their long-term plans.
For risk-averse investors or crypto newbies, this incident may be a warning: there are still many uncertainties and regulatory risks in crypto projects. When the information is unclear, it is best not to act rashly and reduce investment in projects like TON until the hype has passed.
Retail investors should diversify their investments and not put all their eggs in one basket, TON and Telegram. Stay alert and pay attention to the latest developments, and don’t be blind. Control the investment amount and don’t let a single loss ruin you. Durov’s case reminds us that even the hottest projects have their pitfalls, so we should invest slowly.
