Polygon's native token, POL, has surged 14% over the past two weeks, driven by increased network activity and institutional interest. The token's price reached $0.2630 following the return of the Polygon-linked prediction market, Polymarket, to the US market after receiving regulatory clearance. Additionally, small USDC transfers on Polygon have risen by 141% this year, surpassing Solana in micro-payment handling. The network's Heimdall v2 upgrade is expected to enhance stability and reduce blockchain reorganizations, further boosting confidence in the platform.
