Polygon's native token, POL, has surged 6% intraday and nearly 12% over the past week, as the network's total value locked (TVL) hits a 2025 high of over $1.23 billion. This growth is driven by increased decentralized finance activity and strategic integrations within the Polygon ecosystem. The adoption of stablecoins, including AUSD by Miomi Game, has also contributed to this trend, with stablecoin payments reaching a record $2.56 billion in July. Polygon's strategic initiatives and cross-chain interactions are fueling organic growth, solidifying its position as a key player in the DeFi space. The network has seen a rise in USDC active addresses, now totaling 3.16 million, further highlighting its expanding influence in the cryptocurrency market.
