“TON Strategy is doing something genuinely differentiated: providing U.S. public-market investors access to the growth of The Open Network through a scaled, productive position in the network and its currency,” said Suarez. “It’s an ambitious model, and one that should be matched by strong financial oversight and governance. I’m looking forward to bringing my experience to the Board as the Company continues to build.”
