MATIC, the native token of Polygon, has witnessed a significant uptick in value over the past week, managing to emerge from a position of “yearly loss” in its price, signaling a noteworthy turnaround.

Sandeepnailwal expressed a sense of optimism, underscoring Polygon’s return to its underdog status. This shift is seen as a positive development and is perceived as a liberating experience by the founder.

MATIC Price Action To Watch

As of the latest data, MATIC boasts a 24-hour trading volume of $835.15 million, with the current price standing at $0.8743. Impressively, MATIC has recorded a gain of over 10% in the past 7 days, showcasing resilience and positive momentum amidst the challenges faced earlier in the year.

However, a recent unfavorable report from analyst Handle Spotonchain has impacted MATIC’s price, resulting in a slight decline today. Adding to the downward pressure, American billionaire Mark Cuban (@mcuban) recently unstaked and deposited 2.82 million $MATIC (equivalent to $2.56 million at a price of $0.91) to Coinbase, a move that occurred approximately 6 hours ago.

Mark Cuban’s History With MATIC

Mark Cuban’s history with MATIC involves receiving 2.5 million $MATIC (valued at $4.25 million at that time) from the Polygon Ecosystem Growth on May 24, 2021. He staked these tokens to earn additional $MATIC. The recent unstaking by Cuban has triggered speculation about potential selling intentions, particularly considering the slight gain observed on the yearly chart.
