TON rose 0.77% in 24 hours to $1.5029 as trading activity intensified following the introduction of Cocoon, a decentralized AI computing platform built on the open network.
Volume reached 2.95 million, a 37% increase from the weekly average, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data model.
The price action comes as Cocoon begins processing live user requests. The platform allows GPU owners to rent computing power for AI inference tasks and receive TON tokens as compensation.
Telegram, which has deep ties to the TON ecosystem, is the first user of Cocoon’s AI infrastructure.
While TON’s gains are lagging broader crypto benchmarks, underperforming the CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20), which rose 1.47% during the period, the increase in volume suggests that major market participants may be building positions.
Despite falling to a session low of $1.4501, the token showed strength throughout the period, closing well above its open of $1.4914 and holding the key support level around $1.45.
The price remained confined within a narrow range, suggesting a consolidation phase. Nonetheless, the high volume and ecosystem developments demonstrate growing interest in TON’s role as an infrastructure for decentralized AI.
Support is also seen around $1.44, with resistance near $1.51. A sustained move above this level could establish a test of $1.53 in the near term.
