MATIC still lacks sufficient upside and is vulnerable at $0.77
Polygon (MATIC/USD), a Layer-2 scaling solution on Ethereum, is showing little signs of stopping in 2023. After the busy year 2022, the network has again inked a partnership with payments giant Mastercard. In the latest& cryptocurrency news, Polygon will help Mastercard launch a Web3-focused incubator for artists. Polygon’s native token reacted to the positive development, adding an intraday of 3%.
According to the announcement, Mastercard’s accelerator program will launch in Spring 2023. It is expected to equip emerging artists &- musicians, producers, and DJs with the skills and tools in a digital economy. Artists can build their brands through Web3 and virtual worlds through the program.&
The partnership earmarks Polygon as a go-to protocol for major brands, governments, and NGOs entering Web3. Polygon Studios CEO Ryan Wyatt says Web3 has the potential to help artists expand their fan base.
