| š¼ TON, Telegram and the Future of Digital Asset Treasuries ā Yury Mitin | Ep. 102 | 05 Dec 2025 | 00:56:54 | |
In this episode, I sit down with Yury Mitin, Partner and CBDO at AlphaTON Capital, one of the first public digital asset treasury companies focused on the TON ecosystem and Telegram economy. We explore the meeting point of Wall Street discipline and crypto-native culture, and how TON is evolving from a token into a real business ecosystem built on top of one of the most used apps in the world. From entering public markets through eToro to evaluating TON startups, Yury breaks down what makes TON different, how acquisitions work, and why real revenue matters more than hype. We discuss the growth of mini apps, AI agents, TON wallet adoption, Telegram bonds, MasterCard integration, and why real utility could shape TON into a top ecosystem in the coming years. Yury explains: š Why TON is one of the few tokens directly tied to a real global platform š± 1B users on Telegram and what happens when crypto becomes native inside a super app š¢ Public markets vs crypto culture and why speculation alone does not survive š° Acquisition strategy: revenue thresholds, 51 percent ownership, valuation logic š¹ TON verticals: gaming, NFT 2.0, DeFi, AI agents and media š³ TON MasterCard card and bridging crypto to everyday spending š How TON bonds, yield and staking feed back into acquisitions and growth š North America expansion and how institutions get exposure to TON Why watch? If you care about digital asset treasuries, TON, Telegram adoption, Web3 real-world revenue, or the intersection of traditional finance and crypto, this episode is a masterclass in how public companies can build on-chain ecosystems with real fundamentals rather than speculation.
