Analyzing Polygon’s DeFi performance after MATIC’s 7% price fall

    MATIC’s price fell by more than 7% in the last 24 hours 
    Metrics hinted at a further drop in its price soon

As a researcher with experience in the crypto market, I’m closely monitoring the recent price action of MATIC and its relation to Polygon’s performance in the DeFi space. The past 24 hours have seen a significant drop of more than 7% in MATIC’s price, and metrics suggest that there might be further downside.


Matic’s investors have been disappointed by the cryptocurrency’s recent price performance. While bears have dominated the market and driven down its value on charts, Polygon‘s accomplishments in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector have been noteworthy. Therefore, it raises the query – Could Polygon’s success in DeFi potentially spark a turnaround for Matic?

Polygon’s recent setback

As a researcher examining current cryptocurrency market trends, I’ve uncovered some intriguing data regarding MATIC‘s price movements. Over the past week, CoinMarketCap reported a decline of more than 5% in MATIC’s value. Regrettably, this downward trend persisted and the altcoin shed an additional 7% of its worth within the last 24 hours. At present, MATIC is being traded at $0.6622 with a market capitalization exceeding $6.5 billion, placing it as the 18th largest crypto in the market.

The price decrease led to a decline in the token’s social statistics as well. For example, its social media buzz decreased, indicating a drop in interest and popularity. Moreover, its weighted emotion score stayed in the negative range, suggesting that pessimistic feelings continued to prevail among investors.

The disheartening update was that even as the token’s price fell, its trading activity picked up. This validation of the price decrease suggested that the downward trend might persist.

Additionally, our analysis of Coinglass’ figures by AMBCrypto uncovered a decrease in the altcoin’s long/short ratio during the past 4 hours. Such a reduction indicates a bearish outlook, suggesting greater demand for selling or shorting the assets.

And the good part is…

As an analyst, I’ve observed a decline in the price of the token during that period. However, Polygon made an interesting announcement via tweet, showcasing their blockchain’s dominance in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) sector. Their Proof-of-Stake (PoS), zkEVM, and Connext Development Kit (CDK) have gained significant traction among DeFi developers. These offerings provide scalable networks and essential tools for constructing robust financial solutions.

As a financial analyst, I can tell you that Aave held the leading position among Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols on Polygon with a total value of $460 million locked in. Conversely, Azuro protocol emerged as a significant player within the prediction app ecosystem on EVM chains, and in less than a year and a half on Polygon, it has seen remarkable growth. With over 25 active applications, a trading volume of $300 million, and generating more than $3.2 million in revenue.

Despite the robust foundations Polygon has in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) sector, its network saw a decrease in activity during the past week.

Realistic or not, here’s MATIC’s market cap in ETH terms   

As a crypto investor, I recently came across an intriguing finding while analyzing the latest data from AMBCrypto on Artemis. It turns out that the number of daily active addresses for MATIC had also taken a dip. This decline in active addresses led to a corresponding decrease in daily transactions on the blockchain over the past week.

As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed that Polygon’s DeFi performance has been impressive, but it hasn’t been enough on its own to drive MATIC‘s value into bullish territory. Consequently, the altcoin’s market trend is likely to remain as it is for the time being.
