Pantera invests in Ton blockchain

Ryan Barney, a senior investment associate at Pantera Capital, posted about the company's investment in TON, which "can leverage a network of 900 million people" and can truly help spread crypto to wider communities.

Pantera highlighted many benefits concerning its investment in TON, including blockchain scalability through its shard mechanism, which is highly comparable to other top cryptocurrencies.
