Waiting for the Rebound of Polygon’s POL Token
Despite intense activity on the technical front, the Polygon token (POL), formerly known as MATIC, is still struggling to convince investors. Priced at $0.258 on May 13, 2025, its value is still far from its all-time highs.
Nevertheless, Polygon is not holding back in evolving its infrastructure. The network is currently rolling out its “Polygon 2.0” strategy, focusing on a promising new technology: zkEVM (Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine). Simultaneously, Polygon has also migrated its former MATIC token to the new POL, paving the way for new use cases.
Ambitious Initiatives to Boost the POL Ecosystem
Recently, Polygon launched the Agglayer Breakout program aimed at incubating and deploying high-impact blockchain projects. The concept? Allocating 5 to 15% of the tokens from incubated projects in an airdrop to POL stakers, thus boosting network activity and the token’s value.
This adoption strategy seems to be bearing fruit. Projects integrated into Polygon’s Agglayer benefit from immediate connection to its infrastructure, fostering a virtuous cycle around POL staking.
Analysts have mixed views on POL’s price evolution. Short-term forecasts remain cautious, with a target around $0.27 within a month according to CoinCodex, and $0.47 within a year according to Coinpedia.
However, in the long run, more optimistic experts like DigitalCoinPrice estimate that POL could reach $3.91 by the end of 2025, provided that the adoption of zkEVM and the multiple chains in the Polygon ecosystem truly take off.
