As the price of Polygon (MATIC) soars to new all-time highs, crypto analytics firm Santiment is looking under the hood at its on-chain activity and social metrics.
Polygon, the leading Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution, surged to an all-time high of $2.92 at one point on Monday, before giving up some of its gains and is currently trading at $2.61.
Santiment looks at the active addresses metric of MATIC and notes that Polygon currently has “decent network activity.”
“8,000 daily active addresses is massive.
Probably in [the] top five [of] most active coins in Ethereum.
Definitely one of the most used coins. Super strong!”
The analytics firm also says there’s currently “no profit taking” in MATIC and low exchange inflows for the crypto asset. MATIC’s social volume stayed low until finally seeing a spike in social interest right as it surged to an all-time high.
Santiment adds that whales have stopped accumulating MATIC in the past few days.
Concludes the analytics firm,
“The problem that we are seeing is that even though it’s an ATH (all-time high), we’re seeing a relative lack of response in terms of active deposits.
And whales are offloading.
We could probably rather see some sell-offs in the next 24 hours, just so MATIC can correct, and then push another leg up.”
Last week, Polygon announced a new partnership with Opera Software to bring decentralized applications (DApps) over to the Opera web browser.
