Ryan Sean Adams, a prominent figure in the Ethereum community and a crypto investor, has expressed his optimism about MATIC, the native token of Polygon. He believes that MATIC has the potential to become one of the top 10 cryptocurrencies and that people are not paying enough attention to layer-2 solutions.As of November 8, MATIC is ranked among the top 15 coins by market capitalization. While its value has been volatile and its position in the market cap rankings has fluctuated, MATIC remains relatively liquid with a broad user base. According to Etherscan data, there are currently 629,967 MATIC holders, indicating a slight decrease but still a significant number.In terms of price performance, MATIC has seen a significant uptrend. It has risen by 60% since its lows in September 2023 and has experienced a 13% increase in the last trading day, resulting in weekly gains of over 27%. The daily chart shows a strong uptrend momentum, with buyers showing increased interest. The presence of bull bars along the upper Bollinger Band suggests intense buying pressure. MATIC has also surpassed its previous highs in August, indicating a bullish breakout formation.Polygon, a sidechain solution for Ethereum, is considered a layer-2 scaling solution. It is compatible with Ethereum, allowing protocols to build on Polygon while benefiting from the high activity and security of the Ethereum network. Although it is not technically a layer-2 solution like Arbitrum or OP Mainnet, it serves a similar purpose.Adams believes that investing in layer-2 tokens like MATIC or ARB at current levels could lead to significant gains in the next bull run. However, it should be noted that MATIC is currently down 72% from its highs in 2021. The coin is also trading within the bearish range observed in June, and a decisive close above this level could signal the end of the bearish trend and attract buyers targeting a price of $1.5.In late October, Polygon Labs launched the POL token, which will play a crucial role in Polygon 2.0, Ethereum’s upgrade. This launch has generated increased demand for MATIC and has contributed to the rise in token prices.Overall, MATIC and layer-2 tokens are gaining attention and are expected to play a significant role in the future of the crypto market.
