The week was relatively green for crypto prices ? – pretty normal, since coins have dipped for about two weeks now. We’re not calling it a bull market just yet, but at least we can feel a bit more comfortable with how this week ended ?.
However, while coin prices were surging, some coins saw even bigger jumps than others . And MATIC, one of the most popular coins, made a huge comeback that has investors excited.
Three Places Up! ?
After being ranked 15th on the crypto charts for a while, Polygon (MATIC) took a big leap and now sits at the 12th position ?. MATIC’s market cap jumped by 1.44% in the past week alone, and it currently sits at $7.73 billion. That was enough to jump over DAI (DAI), Shiba inu (SHIB), and Avalanche (AVAX) to become the 12th most valuable coin out there ✌️.
All eyes will still be on coins like MATIC this month since Ethereum’s Merge could affect it. What would it mean for platforms like Polygon when the Ethereum blockchain eventually moves to proof-of-stake (PoS) ?. Share your thoughts and let’s know.
