Crypto exchange Huobi Global has announced that it will be listing Toncoin, the native cryptocurrency of The Open Network (TON) ecosystem, on Wednesday, September 7th, 2022. The listing will see TON available for trading on one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world in a TON/USDT spot trading pair.
The listing was announced by Huobi Global on September 5th as part of a strategic partnership with the TON Foundation. Toncoin, which is a token that is available to transact on the messaging platform, Telegram, has now moved out into the mainstream with this new listing.
The project had previously raised $250 million through the Huobi Incubator, which is part of the Huobi Group. This partnership will not only see Toncoin listed on the crypto exchange, but there is an extensive marketing budget of 1 million TON tokens planned to go towards marketing events, trading contests, airdrops, and staking with up to 300% APY.
Founding member of the TON Foundation, Steve Yun, expressed excitement at the partnership with Huobi. He states that the TON Foundation is “excited that Huobi Global now supports TON mainnet. We look forward to actively supporting the TON ecosystem together.”
The partnership is also focused on expanding the offerings and opportunities in Web3. Both parties plan to leverage the collaboration to support developers and businesses, as well as provide investments, incubate projects, and implement technologies and projects based on the TON blockchain.
