Notcoin (NOT), a game and token integrated into Telegram as a Play-to-Earn game, is gaining popularity 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 and immediately started accepting deposits. The exchange plans to enable NOT trading and withdrawals on May 16 and May 17, respectively. Bybit mentioned that deposits and withdrawals will be available via The Open Network (TON), and trading will be facilitated through its automated trading tool after the token is listed.
Binance, another crypto exchange, will also start spot trading of Notcoin on May 16 after adding it to its launch pool on May 9. Additionally, Telegram’s third-party custodial crypto wallet, Wallet, will add NOT to its app on May 16.
In addition to these listings, OKX, another crypto exchange, plans to feature Notcoin at its Jumpstart Mining event on May 13. This event will allow holders of Toncoin (TON) to stake their TON and receive rewards in NOT.
The excitement around NOT has been growing on social media, with the “Notcoin” hashtag accumulating over 35,000 posts on X at the time of writing.
Notcoin was launched in January 2024 as a free Play-to-Earn game on Telegram. Users can earn rewards in the Notcoin token by simply tapping the coin icons in the game. The NOT cryptocurrency is based on the TON blockchain and was founded by Sasha Plotvinov, the founder of Open Builders, the team behind the game.
Despite NOT not yet being listed on crypto exchanges like Binance, the Notcoin game went viral 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.
Currently, the official Notcoin Community channel on Telegram has over 6 million subscribers and 1.6 million followers on X. The game has brought in 648,015 users, according to data from the Notcoin bot on Telegram.
The recent developments in the TON ecosystem have also gained momentum. On May 8, Pantera Capital, a major crypto investor, disclosed that its strategic investment in TON was the company’s largest ever. This news has caused a significant spike in the price of Toncoin, which surged 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.
