Despite heavy outflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum investment products, TON, DOGE and LINK continue to attract fresh capital from investors. Chainlink is gaining attention through its growing role in institutional financial infrastructure, TON benefits from Telegram's extensive user ecosystem, and Dogecoin remains one of the market's most liquid trading assets.

The Open Network (TON) has confirmed that the Toncoin and Token Bridge at bridge-v3.ton.org will cease all operations permanently on September 1, 2026, drawing the curtain on an infrastructure that was behind the blockchain's earliest days of cross-chain connectivity.
