On July 6, 2025, Max Crown, CEO of the TON Foundation, announced a new pathway for a 10-year UAE Golden Visa through TON token staking.
This initiative allows applicants to secure residency by staking $100,000 worth of TON for 36 months, bypassing traditional residency investment barriers.
Max Crown’s social media announcement has sparked significant interest within the crypto community. The new pathway was described as a “groundbreaking initiative” offering a unique residency avenue. Max Crown, CEO, TON Foundation, remarked, “Groundbreaking initiative offering toncoin holders a new path to UAE residency.”
Staking requirements include a $35,000 processing fee, rechanneling considerable capital into the TON ecosystem and stimulating increased on-chain activity.
Did you know? In contrast to traditional residency-by-investment programs requiring $540,000 assets, the TON initiative lowers the threshold by nearly fivefold, reflecting the evolving role of blockchain in global mobility options.
Toncoin (TON) has seen varied price performance, with a recent 24-hour increase of 2.81% and current valuations at $2.83, as derived from CoinMarketCap data. Trading volumes have surged 759.28%, amounting to $724,235,318 in the past day, amid ongoing market fluctuations.
Financial experts from Coincu suggest the initiative could influence future blockchain residency pathways. While early skepticism and excitement pervade discussions, it reinforces the growing acceptance of digital assets in real-world applications. The program’s long-term success will likely hinge on future regulatory clarity and broader institutional collaboration with official UAE bodies.
