TON Launches UAE Residency Program via Crypto Staking as Token Sees Price Breakout

• TON enables UAE Golden Visa via $100K crypto stake, bypassing real estate requirements.
• Toncoin price jumps 8%, trading volume spikes 254% after visa program announcement.
• Applicants earn 3–4% yield on staked TON, with smart contract-based, verifiable process.

The Open Network (TON) has introduced a new path to UAE residency, enabling applicants to secure Golden Visas by staking cryptocurrency instead of purchasing real estate or meeting income requirements. The program allows individuals to qualify by locking $100,000 worth of TON tokens for three years, along with a $35,000 processing fee. The application is processed through a decentralized smart contract, with the full procedure taking less than seven weeks from document submission to visa issuance.

Applicants retain complete control over their staked assets throughout the lock-up period. The mechanism is implemented on the TON blockchain, with smart contracts publicly verifiable. Unlike traditional Golden Visa routes that typically require a minimum real estate investment of $540,000 or long-term fixed deposits, this offering serves as an alternative entry point into the UAE without illiquid commitments.

The application process begins with the first submission and staking, followed by a merit-based review phase. Once approved, visa processing is handled by local UAE partners. Residency extends to the applicant’s spouse, children, and parents, with no additional costs outside standard government fees.

Expected staking returns are estimated at 3–4% annually over the three-year period. These returns apply to the locked TON tokens and are subject to the token’s network economics during the period.
