Notcoin (NOT), a game and token integrated as a Telegram Mini App, is generating a lot of buzz on X as major cryptocurrency exchanges prepare to list the token.
Bybit, a crypto exchange, officially announced the listing of Notcoin on its platform on May 9, with deposits immediately available. The exchange plans to launch NOT trading and withdrawals on May 16 and May 17, respectively. Bybit stated that deposits and withdrawals will be facilitated through The Open Network (TON), and trading will be conducted using its automated trading tool.
Binance, another crypto exchange, will also begin spot trading of Notcoin on May 16, after adding it to its launch pool on May 9. Telegram’s third-party custodial crypto wallet, Wallet, will also include NOT in its app on May 16.
Furthermore, OKX, another crypto exchange, plans to feature Notcoin at its Jumpstart Mining event on May 13, allowing holders of Toncoin (TON) to stake their TON and receive rewards in NOT.
The excitement surrounding NOT has been building on social media, with the “Notcoin” hashtag accumulating over 35,000 posts on X at the time of writing.
Notcoin, launched in January 2024, is a free play-to-earn game on Telegram where users can earn rewards in the Notcoin token by tapping the coin icons. The NOT cryptocurrency is based on the TON blockchain and was founded by Sasha Plotvinov, founder of Open Builders, the team behind the game.
Despite NOT not yet being traded on crypto exchanges like Binance, the Notcoin game quickly gained popularity on Telegram, attracting millions of users.
According to Plotvinov, Notcoin has successfully attracted Telegram users to crypto, as the app reached approximately 30 million users just a few months after its launch.
The official Notcoin Community channel on Telegram currently has over 6 million subscribers, and the game has brought in 648,015 players, according to data from the Notcoin bot.
The news of Notcoin’s listing comes at a time when the TON ecosystem is gaining momentum. Crypto investor Pantera Capital recently revealed that its strategic investment in TON was its largest investment ever.
As a result, the Toncoin cryptocurrency has seen a significant spike, with its price surging from around $5.5 to almost $7. At the time of writing, TON is trading at $6.88, representing a 27% increase over the past seven days.
