Short-term is not possible; in the short term, it only relies on narrative, and on the narrative level, it is insufficient to support it rising to 2.5, and even the short-term narrative is biased negatively.
However, from a long-term construction perspective, TON may trend back towards 1.0, at which point USD and TON will be at a 1:1 ratio, making it convenient for TG users to rapidly consume TON as fuel. Once the trend starts, it could become the next ETH or even surpass ETH.
Why do I say this? This is because the mechanism of ETH is too complex, coupled with high fuel costs and staking methods, which makes it difficult for ETH to have new breakthroughs. However, TON is different; the application attributes behind TON are determined by TG.
Moreover, the user base of TG is several times that of ETH, and the extremely high liquidity will lead to a fuel consumption that could multiply a thousandfold in the future.
