TON's daily price swings expand 3.4x in May — the sharpest volatility jump in the dataset
- Toncoin's average daily price swing in the first two weeks of May was 3.4 times higher than in all of April — the largest month-on-month volatility expansion across all 150 assets tracked.
- The token surged 120% in six days (from $1.32 on 1 May to an intraday peak of $2.90 on 7 May), then fell 21.7% to close at $2.13 by 14 May; average daily volume jumped from 68.5M in April to 167M in May.
- A move of this speed and scale is rare even in crypto; the rapid reversal after the peak suggests the initial surge was not matched by sustained buying.
