## TL; DR
Matic has been one of the best performing cryptocurrencies in January and February 2023.

Although Matic has already flipped <a href="/zh-tw/price/dogecoin-doge" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Dogecoin</a>, it is likely to surpass <a href="/zh-tw/price/cardano-ada" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Cardano</a> in the near future.

<a href="/zh-tw/price/polygon-matic" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Polygon</a> is a layer-2 blockchain that supports the <a href="/zh-tw/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> network.

## Introduction 
The crypto market has been showing signs of recovery during the first two months of 2023. We witnessed cryptocurrencies that gained more than 100% within that period. Matic is one of the cryptocurrencies that outperformed other major cryptocurrencies such as <a href="/zh-tw/price/cardano-ada" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Cardano</a> (ADA) and <a href="/zh-tw/price/dogecoin-doge" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Dogecoin</a>.

This post discusses the performance of Matic as compared to other cryptocurrencies in January and February 2023. We will also cover the reasons why Matic currently maintains a bullish momentum.

## <a href="/zh-tw/price/polygon-matic" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">matic price</a> performance 
Matic has been bullish since the beginning of 2023 to the extent of outperforming the other major cryptocurrencies like <a href="/zh-tw/price/dogecoin-doge" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Dogecoin</a> and <a href="/zh-tw/price/cardano-ada" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Cardano</a> (ADA). For example, it gained by 50% in a 30-day period that ended on 18 February 2023.

Notably, the price of [most Polygon](https://www.gate.io/learn/articles/what-is-polygon/73 "most Polygon") – based tokens increased remarkably during that period. COVO, which posted an 85% increase within the week ending 18 February, is a good example of the <a href="/zh-tw/price/polygon-matic" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Polygon</a>-based token that rallied during January and February 2023.

<a href="/zh-tw/price/polygon-matic" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Polygon</a>, with a market capitalization of over $10.8 billion and currently ranked number 9 on CoinMarketCap, holds a better position than <a href="/zh-tw/price/binance-usd-busd" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Binance USD</a> (BUSD) and <a href="/zh-tw/price/dogecoin-doge" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Dogecoin</a>. The point here is that Matic now has a higher market capitalization than <a href="/zh-tw/price/dogecoin-doge" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Dogecoin</a> and is edging closer to <a href="/zh-tw/price/cardano-ada" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Cardano</a>, currently ranked number 8 with a market cap which is slightly over $12.5 billion.

As you note in the diagram, <a href="/zh-tw/price/dogecoin-doge" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Dogecoin</a> has a market capitalization of slightly over $10.7 billion which is less than that of Matic.

## Matic shows a bullish trend
There are several reasons why Matic has maintained a bullish momentum since the beginning of the year. As you will see later, some market analysts believe that the [Polygon Matic price](https://www.gate.io/trade/MATIC_USDT "Polygon Matic price") will continue rising during the first quarter of 2023.

The main reason for the sustained bullish momentum is the growth of the <a href="/zh-tw/price/polygon-matic" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Polygon</a> network since it is a layer-2 blockchain that supports the <a href="/zh-tw/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> network. Its key function is to increase the scalability of the <a href="/zh-tw/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> blockchain, lower the transaction fees as well as enhancing the network security.

As a result, many decentralized applications, lending platforms and decentralized exchanges keep on migrating to the <a href="/zh-tw/price/polygon-matic" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Polygon</a> blockchain. An increase in the adoption of the network shows its importance in the DeFi sector.

Another important contributor to the Matic bullish momentum is the recent announcement of zkEVM as well as <a href="/zh-tw/price/polygon-matic" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Polygon</a>’s partnership with Reddit. These two developments have attracted investors to invest in Matic.

More specifically, Reddit has developed its series of Super Bowl Collectible Avatars on the <a href="/zh-tw/price/polygon-matic" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Polygon</a> blockchain. Considering the number of Reddit users, it becomes common sense that the demand for Matic will remain high for a long period. Also, the partnership resulted in all-time-high daily mints of Reddit Collectible Avatars within the first two months of 2023.

As mentioned, the [launch of the zkEVM on the Polygon network](https://www.gate.io/learn/articles/what-is-zkevm/267 "launch of the zkEVM on the Polygon network") is a strong promise that the blockchain will bring many benefits to the users. The zkEVM is a unique Layer 2 solution which uses zero-knowledge proofs to secure transactions and increase throughput.

The zkEVM also enables developers to launch [their Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)](https://www.gate.io/learn/articles/what-is-evm/68 "their Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)") compatible Smart Contracts on the blockchain. As developers deploy more applications on the blockchain the demand for Matic will increase.

Likewise, the greater adoption of cryptocurrencies leads to a rise in the demand for Matic and the subsequent increase in its price. Primarily, many investors prefer <a href="/zh-tw/price/polygon-matic" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Polygon</a> to other networks because it has more secure, faster and cheaper transactions.

## Matic <a href="/zh-tw/price-prediction" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">price prediction</a>
We have noticed that Matic has positioned itself as an attractive cryptocurrency due to its security and cheap transaction cost. As a result, many market analysts have predicted that it will have a positive price movement in the next two years. However, from time to time, it will experience price dips like any other cryptocurrency.

First, PricePrediction [expects](https://priceprediction.net/en/price-prediction/polygon "expects") the price of Matic to increase over the next two years.

With that momentum, its value is likely to range between $2.44 and $2.82 in 2024. It further expects the price of Matic to fluctuate between $ 3.45 and $4.14 in 2025.

It predicts that <a href="/zh-tw/price/polygon-matic" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">matic price</a> will be $1.88 by the end of 2023 and will range between $2.50 and $2.75 in 2024.
