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. 

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. 

FXStreet analysts believe that the MATIC relief rally could send the altcoin’s price to $2.
