  1. Transition from MATIC to POL
  2. Surge in Stablecoin Market Capitalization
  3. Real-World Asset Integration on Polygon

  4. Polygon has upgraded its MATIC token to POL in an effort to strengthen its position in the blockchain market. Alongside this, the platform is demonstrating growth in stablecoin capitalization and expanding the integration of real-world assets.

    Transition from MATIC to POL

    In September 2024, Polygon completed the transition from the MATIC token to POL, with 66% of circulating MATIC being migrated to the new token. POL is positioned as a hyperproductive token, usable across the entire Polygon ecosystem and an aggregation layer called AggLayer. This move has improved interoperability between networks and enhanced the token's efficiency and usability.

    Surge in Stablecoin Market Capitalization

    One of Polygon's major achievements this year has been the surge in stablecoin market capitalization, rising from $1.1 billion to $2.1 billion over 10 months. This growth was primarily driven by major stablecoins like USDC and USDT, with USDT's market capitalization on Polygon increasing from $473 million to $945 million. This increase indicates growing interest and trust in the Polygon ecosystem, especially for cross-border payment solutions and DeFi applications.

    Real-World Asset Integration on Polygon

    Polygon is also focusing on the integration of real-world assets. Currently, 23 real-world assets have been tokenized on the Polygon network, with a total value exceeding $531.58 million. This innovation opens up opportunities for developing applications in various sectors, including the traditional financial sector, which is increasingly interested in blockchain technology to accelerate transactions and enhance transparency.

    Polygon is confidently strengthening its position in the blockchain market through token upgrades, stablecoin capitalization growth, and real-world asset integration. These steps highlight a strategic focus on infrastructure development and expanded opportunities for developers and users.
