Polygon (MATIC) Price Surge Gains Top 20 Crypto Ranking: What’s Next?

As a seasoned crypto investor with a knack for spotting promising opportunities, I’ve always kept a keen eye on projects that show potential for growth and innovation. My journey in the crypto realm has been marked by both triumphs and trials, but the thrill of discovering undervalued gems never fades.


Approximately two years ago, Polygon, also known as a Layer 2 blockchain network, was thriving at its peak. However, there’s been a noticeable decline in its popularity, particularly in the value of Polygon tokens. Initially, it held a place among the top 20 cryptocurrencies in the market, but the decrease in popularity has consistently pushed it down the rankings.

Currently, Polygon has reemerged in the top 20 listings on CoinmarketCap. This ranking is determined by market capitalization, and with a market cap of $5.3 billion, MATIC now holds the 20th position, surpassing Litecoin and several other well-known cryptocurrencies. It’s also worth noting that Bitcoin‘s price has recently reached $64K and is aiming for even greater heights, which in turn is driving up the prices of other altcoins such as Polygon as well.

Analyzing The Polygon Price Surge

On December 27, 2021, Polygon MATIC saw its peak performance with a record high price of $2.92. However, since then, it hasn’t managed to reach such heights and instead, its worth has been on a steady decline.

Over the past week, the MATIC price has shown strong growth, reaching a monthly high of $0.5439. At the moment, it’s trading at $0.5379 following a 33% increase. This surge is one of the most significant in the market, as the overall sentiment among users has been moderate, suggesting a relatively calm market.

As a researcher, I’ve observed an upward trend not just in price but also in trading volume and market capitalization for this altcoin over the past few days. This suggests a significant increase in demand for the cryptocurrency. Today, MATIC ranks 25th in terms of daily transactions with a trading volume of approximately $291 million. Even more noteworthy is the 30% jump in market capitalization, which has catapulted it to the 20th position among the largest cryptocurrencies currently in circulation.

What’s Next For Polygon (MATIC)?

Polygon, recognized for its frequent partnerships and persistent updates, has significantly contributed to the rise in MATIC‘s price. Each collaboration has given the token a boost, keeping its popularity high within the market. Now, there is much anticipation surrounding the shift of MATIC to POL. This transition aims to bring about extensive improvements to liquidity and user-friendliness. Additionally, this change will give the assets a fresh look or rebranding, potentially increasing their appeal in the market, thus boosting demand.

Beyond Coinbase, a well-known crypto exchange, expressing support for MATIC‘s transition to POL, has sparked a rally in the price of Polygon recently. Experts predict that if current conditions persist, the price could potentially reach $0.7. However, its technical analysis presents a mixed picture. On one hand, the 24-hour chart indicates a strong upward trend due to the exponential and simple moving averages pointing towards growth. On the other hand, there is a noticeable selling pressure on the token, which could potentially lower its value. This selling pressure may have been caused by a compromise in the Polygon Discord server.

If Polygon’s price surpasses its predicted value, crossing the resistance level at 0.5545, it’s expected that an upward trend will follow.

Final Thoughts

Once more, Polygon has found itself among the top 20 cryptocurrencies as ranked by Coinmarketcap. This new position places it with a market cap of $5.3 million and a value of $0.5379 following a substantial 33% increase over the past week. With the upcoming shift from MATIC to POL, there’s a growing anticipation for Polygon’s price to reach its peak performance levels.
