With implications of new updates (like the Stars) that will make Telegram and TON more marketable and usable for content and project creators alike. In the future, they should be able to trade these for TON itself, so I think we will see even more funds flooding into it.

This is good and all, but without the US market, TON will be doomed. Telegram needs to "open its doors" to US-based users to help kickstart the value of its TON cryptocurrency. I know the decision was made out of fear from the regulators. Especially with the SEC's record of "aggressiveness" against crypto industry giants in the US. But the regulatory agency backed down recently, paving the way for crypto companies to resume their operations in the country without obstacles/limitations.

Until the US market adopts TON, expect Solana to stay ahead in the game for quite some time. Technically-speaking, both TON and Solana are "neck and neck". TON hasn't had a single network outage (AFAIK), unlike its rival. I guess that's one of its main "selling points". The crypto market behaves in many strange and bizarre ways, so expect the unexpected.
