CoinEx News: TON surged more than 30% in the past 24 hours and broke above the $2.7 level, extending its rally after Pavel Durov said Telegram would replace the TON Foundation as the main driving force behind the network and become its largest validator. The move has also lifted attention across Telegram-linked ecosystem tokens, with DOGS posting a sharp gain and NOT also trading higher.

The rally suggests traders are repricing TON from a standalone blockchain narrative toward a broader Telegram infrastructure theme, where validator control, lower fees, developer tools, and ecosystem tokens are now being traded as one connected growth story.
