Polygon (MATIC) Price Performance and Outlook

Polygon (MATIC) has dropped to 21 rank after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) listed MATIC among crypto assets the agency considers as securities.

MATIC price has dropped 34% in a month as the crypto market crashed due to panic selling by investors. The price has rebounded more than 7% over the last 24 hours after new jobs data confirmed two rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve. The 24-hour low and high are $0.4305 and $0.4796, respectively. However, trading volumes saw a 38% drop over the last day.

As earlier reported by CoinGape, Polygon (MATIC) price hit a two-year low after a 20% loss over the week. The price outlook remains weak despite being among the most popular blockchain networks, Polygon’s position in the market has continuously declined since last year.
