The Polygon Proof of Stake (PoS) network had reported over a million active addresses per day for 30 days running, as ETHNews recently highlighted. This steady user participation suggests that the network is quite active.
CoinMarketCap shows the price of MATIC as of writing to be about $0.7223. After a little decline of 0.19% in the previous day, the token has shown a bullish trend with a 4.65% rise in the previous seven days. Amid the general market volatility, this price durability is remarkable.
Sector Challenges in DeFi

Furthermore, the Polygon network now has $980 million as Total Value Locked (TVL) instead of $1.2 billion. The revenue of the network has suffered as a result of these falls; according to data from Token Terminal, it has decreased by 42% in the last month.

Should this tendency continue, Polygon might find it more difficult to keep its market-leading competitive advantage.
Though there are still obstacles to overcome, the market is nonetheless cautiously hopeful about MATIC. A buy signal from the TD Sequential indicator on the MATIC weekly chart, as noted by well-known expert Ali Martinez, indicates that Polygon may have a one- to four-week price increase.
