However, the asset’s growth since January 2023 has been lackluster. Since the beginning of this year, Polygon’s (MATIC) price has rallied by only 42.6%. MATIC’s rival Solana (SOL), on the other hand, has rallied by over 1000% in the same time frame. Bitcoin (BTC) has also outperformed MATIC, rising more than 150% since January. Moreover, while other tokens have reached yearly highs, MATIC’s price remains below its February high of $1.53.
Polygon’s (MATIC) recent rally could be due to increasing whale movements. Since mid-December, wallets holding between 1 million and 10 million tokens saw an increase of 55 million MATIC, worth around $44.5 million. These wallets currently collectively have around 930.97 million MATIC.
Will Polygon (MATIC) rally to $2?
According to Changelly, MATIC’s price could dip below $1 in January 2024. According to the platform, MATIC could hit $2 sometime in December 2025, about two years from now.

CoinCodex anticipates MATIC’s price to surge to $1.64 on Dec. 31, 2023, an increase of about 53% from current levels. However, the platform expects MATIC to dip in January, falling to around $1 on Jan. 23, before gaining momentum.
However, if the crypto markets enter a bull run in 2024, Polygon’s (MATIC) price may reclaim its all-time high of $2.92, which it attained in December 2021, almost two years ago. The token is currently down by over 63% from its 2021 peak, and reaching those levels may prove lucrative for investors who buy now.
