July 3, 2025 – Dubai, United Arab Emirates


The Open Platform raises $28.5 million in Series A equity funding round, showcasing investor confidence in TON’s ecosystem.
  • The equity round was led by Ribbit Capital, a leading fintech and crypto investor, with Pantera Capital also participating.
  • The investment underscores strong confidence in the Open Platform’s continued development of the blockchain ecosystem in Telegram, being built on TON.
  • The involvement of prominent investors and the raised capital will support the launch of TOP’s portfolio companies across the US, EU and other key regions.

The Open Platform, the leading tech company developing TON-based innovations in Telegram, has announced the completion of its Series A and subsequent extension funding rounds, reaching a $1 billion valuation and becoming the first unicorn in the TON-based ecosystem in Telegram.

The Open Platform raised $28.5 million in an extended Series A funding round, led by Ribbit Capital, with Pantera Capital also participating.

Including this latest raise and previous seed investments, the Open Platform has now secured over $70 million in total funding.

These investments demonstrate the confidence that leading investors have in the Open Platform’s ability to spearhead the growth of the blockchain ecosystem in Telegram.

This ecosystem is being built on TON Blockchain – a fully decentralized and highly scalable blockchain that is the exclusive blockchain partner of Telegram Messenger.

The current strategic focus of the Open Platform centers on geographical expansion.

The involvement of prominent investors, along with the newly raised capital, will support the launch of TOP’s portfolio companies across the US, EU and other key regions – in alignment with TON Foundation’s global vision.

This expansion will involve significant investment in go-to-market strategies, regulatory licensing, compliance infrastructure and security enhancements – all aimed at ensuring sustainable growth and long-term success in these new jurisdictions.

Andrew Rogozov, CEO and founder of the Open Platform, said,

“This investment supports our long-term strategy to scale the adoption of blockchain-based products by leveraging the power of Telegram as a distribution channel.

“By combining TON Blockchain with Telegram’s global reach, we’re building both the infrastructure and the consumer-facing apps needed to onboard a billion users to crypto.”

The Open Platform is driving the growth of the TON-based ecosystem within Telegram, building both core infrastructure and consumer-facing apps across finance, gaming and entertainment.

Products that the Open Platform has powered include Wallet in Telegram, a digital asset solution seamlessly embedded into Telegram’s interface, Tonkeeper, TON’s leading non-custodial crypto wallet, STON.fi, the leading swap DApp (decentralized application) on TON and the developer of a liquidity aggregation protocol, Omniston, Getgems, TON’s foremost NFT marketplace, Tribute, a monetization platform for creators in Telegram and Notcoin, a viral tap-to-earn game, along with many more products.

By integrating blockchain technology into everyday digital experience, the Open Platform is creating a seamless, scalable platform designed for a billion users, accelerating the mainstream adoption of crypto – expanding global access to financial services and enabling a new generation of builders and developers to build the next wave of consumer DApps.

This latest investment from Ribbit Capital, which has previously provided early-stage investment to Coinbase, Nubank and Revolut, among many others, and Pantera Capital, is a testament to the potential these investors see in the integration of blockchain technology into a messenger application with over a billion users.

Micky Malka, founder of Ribbit Capital, said,

“We back teams that reimagine how the world experiences money and technology.

“The Open Platform’s vision of building an intuitive and open platform that enables a robust digital ecosystem to form within Telegram – a platform used by hundreds of millions – opens a new frontier of opportunities for builders and users on a global scale.”

Ryan Barney, partner at Pantera Capital, said,

“We’re thrilled to back this exceptional team led by Andrew. The opportunity to support groundbreaking tech and financial products that reach one billion people is inspiring.

“We’re excited to collaborate with the TOP team and strengthen our commitment to TON and Telegram’s ecosystems.”

TON Blockchain has been the subject of increased institutional interest throughout this year. In March 2025, TON Foundation announced that several leading investors – including Sequoia Capital, Ribbit Capital, Benchmark, Draper Associates, Kingsway, Vy Capital, Libertus Capital, CoinFund, SkyBridge, Hypersphere and Karatage – have acquired and now hold $400 million worth of Toncoin, signaling growing interest in the TON-based ecosystem in Telegram.
