According to Coingecko, memecoins issued on the TON blockchain have shown growth over the past day, despite wider stagnation in the cryptocurrency market. The market capitalization of memecoins increased by 19% in a day, reaching $151 million.

TON network memecoins such as Resistance Dog (REDO), The Resistance Cat (RECA), and Ton Inu (TINU) have grown by 49%, 120%, and 23% respectively over the past week.

In comparison, the overall cryptocurrency market capitalization decreased by 0.1% to $2.54 trillion, with Bitcoin and Ether down by 0.2%.

Large-cap memecoins are also losing value following Bitcoin's decline: The Block GMCI Meme Index, which includes leading memecoins by market capitalization, fell by 2.88% over the past day to 284.96.

TON is a blockchain platform originally developed by the team behind the popular messaging app Telegram, led by the Durov brothers. It was created to integrate cryptocurrency and blockchain features into the Telegram ecosystem. The native token of the TON ecosystem, Toncoin, has dropped by 0.4% over the past 24 hours to $7.78.

According to DefiLlama, the total value locked (TVL) in the TON blockchain grew to $609.78 million on Monday. Just three months ago, this figure was $300 million. Meanwhile, the top 10 TON protocols have shown growth over the past seven days.

Leading the way is DeDust, a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator in the TON ecosystem, which grew by 53% last week, reaching nearly $300 million. Smaller protocols also show double-digit growth: Tradoor by 95%, EVAA Protocol by 83%, and STON.fi by 18%.

Bitfinex analysts have identified specific factors that could trigger the next crypto winter.

Regulatory measures are the main factor that could trigger a crypto winter, as increased regulatory scrutiny and stricter rules could reduce investor confidence and lead to market sell-offs, Bitfinex analysts told The Block.

Analysts also pointed to macroeconomic factors that could lead to prolonged sell-offs in the cryptocurrency market.

A significant downturn in the global economy or a major financial crisis could lead to a large-scale sell-off of crypto assets, they added.

Bitfinex analysts also noted that market saturation could be a potential trigger for a crypto winter. As prices reach unsustainable levels, a natural correction is expected due to profit-taking and market saturation. Historical patterns show that significant corrections often follow initial bullish phases after halving events.
