The core cryptocurrency of Telegram, Toncoin (TON), ended its seven-week astonishing rally after Pavel Durov's speech at TOKEN2049 in Dubai. The price of Toncoin (TON) on major spot exchanges suddenly dropped from $7.2 to $6.3, ending the triple-digit rise of this over-hyped altcoin and losing 12.5% of its value in less than 30 minutes. This drop resulted in a loss of $1.14 million for TON/USDT long positions on futures trading platforms.

Despite Telegram founder Pavel Durov announcing significant news, the price of the cryptocurrency still plummeted. He shared plans to reintroduce Telegram stickers and emojis as well as NFTs, and enable tipping features, all based on the TON blockchain. In addition, Paolo Ardoino from Tether announced the launch of US Dollar Tether (USDT) on the TON track, which is the world's largest stable coin.

Besant's "toolbox" struggles under the double pressure of oil prices and weak consumption, Goldman Sachs: "There is a scent of stagflation in the market"

Goldman Sachs believes that Baisent is trying to stabilize the long-term US bond market by expanding US Treasury repurchase operations and advancing fiscal consolidation. However, after a brief decline, long-term bond yields rebounded quickly, indicating that policy tools are still insufficient to resolve fiscal and supply-demand pressures. Meanwhile, stagflation signals have intensified: oil prices surged over 7% in a single week, and the 10-year breakeven inflation rate rose nearly 10 basis points in two weeks; yet consumer demand continues to cool, with Walmart same-store sales growth dropping to a six-year low of 2.6%. The "stagflation basket" rose 6.7% this week.
