On Dec. 14, Polygon's core development team announced the rolling out of the testnet implementation of Ethereum Improvement Proposal 1559 to introduce the burning of its native MATIC token and better fee visibility. This was subsequently implemented in the Mumbai testnet on Dec. 14, at 8 a.m. UTC.
MATIC large transactions increase
According to on-chain analytics, IntoTheBlock, large transactions for Polygon (MATIC) have soared a whopping 112% in the last 24 hours. Large transactions track transfers that are $100,000 or more, and an increase in these metrics serves as a proxy for institutions and whales' buying and selling.
The MATIC price started climbing on Dec. 14 after announcing a launching mechanism similar to that of Ethereum. It presently ranks 14th largest and is up 8% in the last 24 hours at $2.18.
