MATIC is on a roll this week, climbing over 12% in just 36 hours. As of June 11, it’s trading at $0.86 after bouncing from a monthly low of $0.75. What’s driving this climb? A combo of tech upgrades, growing Web3 adoption, and straight-up hype from devs.
Polygon’s Comeback: It’s Not Just the Price
The biggest driver is Polygon 2.0—an upcoming set of upgrades that will unify the Ethereum Layer-2 experience. Think lower fees, faster confirmations, and simpler dev tools. People are calling it “Ethereum’s future, but cheaper and scalable.” That’s a flex.
But it’s not just techies hyping it up. Starbucks just expanded its NFT-based loyalty program on it in Japan, and Shopify has quietly added new dev plugins for MATIC payments. Meanwhile, daily active addresses are up 22% this month. Feels like Polygon’s back in its element.
Also, one of the largest Web3 dev groups—BuildOnBase—is pivoting toward Polygon SDK integration for cross-chain deployment. That’s huge.
Polygon’s still one of the most used chains in the world, and when it starts trending again, you know big moves are coming.
