MATIC derives from an earlier stage in Polygon&#8217;s development. Developers rebranded as Polygon in early 2021 after launching as Matic Network in October 2017. Polygon has a high growth potential due to increased demand for Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and various decentralized finance (DeFi) projects built on it. The current CoinMarketCap ranking is #16 and the Coingecko ranking is #18&#8230; Polygon can be purchased on eToro, Webull, Binance, Uphold, and Coinbase.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7bb63ac elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7bb63ac\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d73fd56\" data-id=\"d73fd56\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd86888 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cd86888\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/realacademy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HFC2WWAXKRGGRGZJG7O4CPAKFI-1024x661.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-5231\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/realacademy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HFC2WWAXKRGGRGZJG7O4CPAKFI-1024x661.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/realacademy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HFC2WWAXKRGGRGZJG7O4CPAKFI-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/realacademy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HFC2WWAXKRGGRGZJG7O4CPAKFI-768x495.jpg 768w, https:\/\/realacademy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HFC2WWAXKRGGRGZJG7O4CPAKFI-510x329.jpg 510w, https:\/\/realacademy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HFC2WWAXKRGGRGZJG7O4CPAKFI.jpg 1420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The team behind polygon<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3d19038 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3d19038\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f4fec40\" data-id=\"f4fec40\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-132567a blog-heading elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"132567a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Polygon Team<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a994bb2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a994bb2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a827f50\" data-id=\"a827f50\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d07a31 blog-text-content elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1d07a31\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polygon is among the top 20 crypto-tokens globally.
