Celebrity and institutional investors express interest in MATIC

MATIC hit an important milestone supporting over 7000 decentralized applications in its ecosystem. This fueled a spike in on-chain activity in the Polygon network, driving market capitalization higher. The Ethereum scaling solution is now neck to neck with memecoin Shiba Inu.

Dear @0xPolygon fam, it is my pleasure to inform you that our ecosystem grew from 3,000 to 7,000 apps in only 3 months!

What's even crazier is that we are really/honestly just getting started, both in terms of tech and adoption .

During the recent crypto bloodbath, large wallet investors accumulated $1.6 million worth of MATIC tokens. The accumulation has fueled a bullish narrative for the Ethereum scaling solution. Kevin O’Leary, a celebrity investor and entrepreneur, recently revealed his interest in MATIC.

O’Leary was quoted as saying:

What economic value are they creating? In the case of Polygon, aggregating transactions to reduce gas fees on Ethereum is a smart idea. You have an economic reason to pursue that. You save money. Transaction fees are less. I think the potential of that is large.

VanEck, a financial institution with $82 billion worth of assets under management, has launched a multi-cryptocurrency fund with seven cryptos. Alongside MATIC, the fund includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polkadot, Solana, Tron and Avalanche.

Analysts have evaluated the MATIC price trend and predicted a continuation of the uptrend. @WalterCripto, a pseudonymous analyst and trader, believes that the MATIC price trend shows short-term bullish momentum.
