MATIC price surges after the release of Polygon Studios

The second-best performing token on the 24-hour charts is Polygon (MATIC), the popular layer-two solution for the Ethereum (ETH) network that has seen a significant increase in adoption over the first half of 2021.

VORTECS™ data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro began to detect a bullish outlook for MATIC on July 20, prior to the recent price rise.

The surging momentum for Polygon is in large part due to the release of Polygon Studios, the protocol’s “new arm for the blockchain gaming and NFT ecosystem.”

According to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, market conditions for AXS have been favorable for some time.
