Not only this, but several of the NFT collections, such as y00t revealed that they will bridge to Polygon during the first quarter of 2023. Interestingly, existing Polygon projects, such as Aavegotchi, have announced that they will officially remain on Polygon this year.

Well, Polygon’s growth in the NFT space was evident, as Santiment’s chart revealed promising metrics. According to the data, Polygon’s total NFT Trade Count and Trade volume in USD registered a spike over the last week.

When will MATIC respond?

MATIC’s performance on the price front did not correspond to the updates, as it registered a decline of more than 5% in the last seven days. However, it was showing slight signs of recovery as its price increased by 0.59% in the last 24 hours. At press time, the token was trading at $0.7551 with a market capitalization of over $6.5 billion.

A few of the metrics were also in support of MATIC and suggested a trend reversal was around the corner. CryptoQuant’s data revealed that MATIC’s net deposits on exchanges were low compared to the 7-day average, which is a positive signal as it indicates less selling pressure.

MATIC’s active addresses were also rising, reflecting a larger number of users on the network. Its network growth registered an uptick over the last week, which too looked optimistic. Nonetheless, MATIC’s MVRV Ratio went down, which might cause MATIC’s price to tumble in the coming days.
