The initiative would utilize a private investment in public equity (PIPE) structure, with Kingsway possibly among the investors. Despite the ongoing discussions, no official statements have been made by the involved parties. Currently, Toncoin ranks as the 27th-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap nearing $8 billion, although it has experienced a 23% decline recently.
