MATIC Price Surges 13%! Can It Keep Going Higher?

• Polygon (MATIC) price jumped 13% to $1.45, propelled by major network developments and partnerships.
• The latest surge is part of a bullish run that began two days ago, when MATIC hit lows of $1.14.
• The upcoming launch of Polygon zkEVM on 27 March 2023 could drive the MATIC price even higher.

Polygon (MATIC) Price Rises 13%

The Polygon (MATIC) price has jumped 13%, reaching a high of $1.45 amid a major rally for cryptocurrencies. This surge in value comes from several developments and partnerships within the network.

Bullish Run for MATIC Price

This is not the first time the MATIC price has seen an increase in recent days, as it had already been climbing over the last two days from lows of $1.14 on Tuesday. This momentum has been fueled by positive sentiment across the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin’s value moving above $25,000, as well as other significant events in the crypto world such as Square Enix’s Web3 game launch on Polygon and Plague of Frogs coming to the blockchain too.

zkEVM Mainnet Launch Could Propel Price Further

The upcoming launch of Polygon zkEVM on 27 March 2023 has been cited by experts as one possible catalyst that could push the MATIC token’s value even higher due to its ability to revolutionize blockchain transactions with frictionless scaling on Ethereum. Crypto trader and investor Luke Martin believes this may be driving today’s pump in price action.

Recent Developments Behind Surge

Key developments around Square Enix and National Geographic’s adoption of Polygon have also contributed to today’s rally for MATIC tokens, further boosting its value to $1.45 at present levels which was previously trading at just $1.28 before the surge began earlier today..

Can It Go Higher?

It remains unclear if MATIC can maintain these gains or go even higher in coming weeks ahead but it appears likely that support will hold at current levels around $1.40 should prices retreat from hereon out due to ongoing network developments and partnerships contributing towards its success so far this year

Aave Launches GHO Stablecoin on Ethereum Goerli Testnet

•Aave has deployed its native stablecoin GHO on the Ethereum Goerli testnet.
•The GHO mainnet launch is pending community discussion and approval via Aave DAO.
•It will compete with Maker’s DAI stablecoin and other leading DeFi protocols that have issued their own native stablecoins.

Aave Deploys GHO Stablecoin

Aave, one of the leading crypto decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, has successfully deployed its native stablecoin GHO on Ethereum’s Goerli testnet. The GHO codebase is now available for potential adopters and developers to access and test before it is released to the general public on Ethereum.

GHO Mainnet Launch Pending Community Discussion

The launch of the GHO mainnet depends on community discussions and approval through the Aave DAO which is in charge of Aave governance through proposals and voting. The DeFi community has been eagerly anticipating the release of the stablecoin since August last year when Aave’s community overwhelmingly supported its development.

Stiff Competition from MakerDAO

As Aave ventures into the space of issuing a native stablecoin, it will face stiff competition from rival DeFi protocols like Maker that have already released their own versions. Currently, MakerDAO’s DAI is leading as one of the largest decentralized stablecoins with Curve, another renowned DeFi protocol also developing crvUSD as a rival to DAI and GH0.

Aave’s Current Position Within DeFi Space

Despite this competition, Aave enjoys a good position within the cryptocurrency borrowing and lending industry with total value locked (TVL) at $7.15 billion giving it an advantage over competitors in terms of adoption rate once launched to the public mainnet.

Conclusion

Ultimately, while everyone awaits for more details regarding GH0’s launch date, one can only hope that this new addition to DeFi space brings more innovation as well as better services than those already existing in form of other native stablecoins such as MakerDAOs DAI and Curve’s crvUSD
