Reason for the increase

MG Motor India, the maker of the Hector and Gloster SUVs, recently announced the launch of the NFT collection on the Polygon network. It plans to sell 1,111 NFTs, including GIFs and stills.

On December 14th, Polygon deployed Ethereum’s EIP-1599 update on the Mumbai testnet to introduce a native MATIC token burn mechanism to provide better transaction fees.

Polygon aims to offer developers Ethereum scaling solutions that will enable them to build Web3 applications. The ongoing discussions around Web3 appear to be in MATIC’s favor, particularly the offensive language of billionaire Elon Musk and the founder of Dogecoin.
