might be leaving the room as uncertainty looms over the future of Telegram and Durov, who are currently in the crosshairs of\u2014especially, but not only\u2014Western regulators.<\/p>\n<p>Given the impressive run from around $2 to over $8 during 2024, many TON investors seem to anticipate further downside.<\/p>\n<p>One indicator of this is the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/staking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rapid unstaking of TON in the BitcoinVN TON staking vault<\/a>, resulting in a currently outsized APR of over 100%.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13293 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/staking-ton.jpg\" alt=\"BitcoinVN staking interface showing TON vault APR above 100 percent\" width=\"800\" height=\"95\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/staking-ton.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/staking-ton-300x36.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/staking-ton-768x91.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/staking-ton-696x83.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Many investors are no longer willing to hold TON, perceiving serious downside risk that outweighs the 100%+ APR they could earn on TON.<\/p>\n<p>Purely based on the numbers, this rationale can make sense: If the anticipation is that TON will drop from its current level of close to $6 back to $2, that would represent a loss of approximately 67% of invested capital (measured in USD).<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you invested $6,000 in TON (and acquired 1,000 TON), the value of your investment would decline to $2,000 (1,000 TON at $2 per TON) if such a mean reversion were to occur.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you \u201cearn\u201d 100% annually via staking and double the amount of TON in your portfolio through this strategy, you would still only hold TON worth around $4,000 (1,000 TON at 100% APR = 2,000 TON; but 2,000 TON at $2 per TON = $4,000).<\/p>\n<p>This strong bearish sentiment might be justified, so proceed with caution if you&#8217;re considering investing some of your capital into TON.<\/p>\n<h2>The fundamentals<\/h2>\n<p>First off, TON is highly dependent on Telegram and its small team to maintain its value.<\/p>\n<p>It is both highly centralized and heavily reliant on the Telegram team&#8217;s ability to continue executing effectively.<\/p>\n<p>If Telegram were to be hampered or dismantled in the coming years, the entire investment thesis would likely collapse, and the value of $TON could crumble to dust.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-13296\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ton-down-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration of a worried trader looking at a phone\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ton-down-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ton-down-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ton-down-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ton-down.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This makes it a VERY RISKY investment, and it is not recommended for anyone who isn&#8217;t a professional investor with sufficient capital to absorb potential losses.<\/p>\n<p>On a pure risk-reward basis, saving and <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/custody\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">securing your Bitcoin<\/a> is likely a better option in the long term to maintain and grow your purchasing power.<\/p>\n<p>Now that these disclaimers are out of the way, what are some of the fundamentals that might make you consider <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/?deposit=usdttrc20&amp;settle=ton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allocating some of your capital to TON<\/a> if you&#8217;re seeking to take a risky bet?<\/p>\n<p>First off, Telegram is potentially the most successful messaging platform of the past decade, with over 1 billion users globally and widespread use in nearly every country on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>For many &#8220;international&#8221;
