- Coinbase’s swift fix for Polygon transaction delays helped MATIC and POL prices jump over 2%, restoring market confidence.
- The introduction of the POL token and enhanced whale activity continue to support positive sentiment for Polygon’s future.
Referring to a recent update by Coinbase, the prices of MATIC and POL jumped over 2% today following the exchange’s announcement of a crucial fix for recent transaction delays on the Polygon network. Coinbase experienced an issue that caused delays in sending or receiving MATIC but reassured users that their funds remained safe while it worked on resolving the problem.
As discussed in a recent CNF update, the previous market performance of MATIC was summarized as follows:
Despite some positive signs in late August, the Polygon price has failed to maintain substantial bullish momentum. MATIC has fallen over 10% in the past month, and prominent experts believe its bearish phase will continue.
Furthermore, it was suggested that this decline came after the recent migration from the MATIC token to the POL token for gas fees on the network and as the new driving force of the ecosystem.
Quick Fix Sparks Market Optimism
According to Coinbase’s status page, the issue has been addressed, though “degraded performance” for Polygon transactions remains. Despite this, the quick resolution helped ease concerns and likely contributed to the price surge of both MATIC and POL. At the time of writing, MATIC was trading at $0.387, up 2%, while POL reflected a similar gain. Market sentiment, supported by MATIC whale activity, further bolstered the upward price movement.
Coinbase has faced similar issues before and quickly resolved them, underscoring its commitment to user experience. Polygon has also gained attention after its recent upgrade introducing the POL token, further driving positive sentiment.
As of today, Polygon (MATIC) is trading at $0.3808, with an increase of 0.76% in the past day and 0.18% in the past week. See MATIC price chart below.
