Polygon (MATIC) Inches Closer To All Time High
The Cryptocurrency market has started to recover from the weekend bloodbath. However, MATIC is showing the fastest and promising comeback.
MATIC has surged more than 20 percent and is currently trading at $2.31 with a market capitalization of $16.2 billion. MATIC has been among the top performers even during the market crash.
The price of MATIC has reached close to it's all-time high of $2.45, and it could hit new ATH. Polygon's (MATIC) recent rally comes after the positive developments in the Ethereum Layer 2 protocol.
According to TechCrunch reports, a group of venture capital investors is willing to support Polygon with funding ranging from $50 to $150 million. Some of the industry’s biggest names like Sequoia Capital India and Steadview Capital are planning to invest in Polygon through its MATIC tokens.
Amid the expanding Defi activity on the Ethereum Blockchain and the rising gas fee, Polygon, the Layer-2 Ethereum scaling solution, has garnered a lot of popularity. Polygon deals with most of Ethereum’s scalability difficulties by charging cheap transaction fees.
Recently, Polygon has started to focus upon ZK cryptography as the most viable scaling solution for the Ethereum Blockchain.
The team is preparing for the 'Polygon ZK day' for 9th December. Some of the well-known figures, like Vitalik Buterin, will be present to discuss the current state and future of zk-STARKs and Zero-Knowledge proofs. This could be one of the reasons for MATIC’s price rally.
