Polygon (MATIC), one of the most popular layer-2 scaling solutions for Ethereum, has recently caught the eye of crypto analysts and investors.
MATIC was its previous name until April 2021, when it changed to Polygon. MATIC is the native token of the Polygon network. According to the latest data from CoinGecko, MATIC has surged 7.6% in the last seven days and 18% in the last 14 days. Additionally, the coin has surged almost 28% in the last 30 days.

After rallying to all-time highs above $2.90 last December before plunging lower in 2023, MATIC has stabilized around the $0.80-$0.90 range so far this year. However, the coin has recently surged past the $1 level and is trading at $1.03.
Even though Bitcoin is eyeing $63,000 after its recent surge and drop, MATIC seems not to be showing any major movements. With the whole cryptocurrency market trading in the green, let us find out whether the coin can hit $2 soon.
Will MATIC hit $2?
According to price predictions from researchers at Changelly, MATIC may hit $2 by mid-2025. The experts also predict the price of MATIC to be at a minimum of $1.04 and a maximum of $1.12 in March. Additionally, MATIC is predicted to reach an average of $1.09.

The next leg of the bullish run for Polygon could depend on the overall market conditions. It is also heavily dependent on the outcome of the price of Bitcoin. Additionally, the team is also working on numerous developments that could aid in the surge in the price of the coin. While $2 for Polygon seems like a far-fetched goal, it could be achievable if all the conditions align perfectly.
