6.50 Billion MATIC Migrated to POL: Transition Reaches 64.8%
As of today, Polygon has successfully migrated 6.50 billion MATIC tokens to POL, marking a significant milestone in the network’s transition plan.
This brings the total conversion rate to 64.8%, a key indicator of progress in the shift from MATIC to POL as Polygon’s native token.
POL Migration: 6.50 Billion MATIC Transferred
The MATIC migration process began on September 4, 2024, and is a core part of the Polygon 2.0 roadmap. First discussed in mid-2023, this upgrade was designed to enhance the network’s scalability, security, and overall functionality.
POL replaces MATIC as the token for gas fees and staking, offering additional features like multi-chain staking. It is expected to improve network security by allowing staking across multiple chains in the Polygon ecosystem.
The switch has sparked significant activity among traders, with many swapping their MATIC tokens for POL, particularly given the tokens’ 1:1 conversion rate. Tom Wan, a strategist at 21.co, said that on September 10 alone, over 1 billion tokens were migrated, bringing the total sum to 6.50 billion tokens.
“1 billion MATIC has been migrated to POL today, pushing the migration ratio to 64.8%,” Wan affirmed.

POL’s broader utility makes it more appealing to investors. It offers features that MATIC did not, such as enhanced governance controls and fee generation from multiple sources. These factors make POL more attractive to long-term holders.
“Unlike MATIC, which was mainly used for staking and gas fees, POL brings enhanced features like multi-chain staking, allowing users to stake across different chains in the Polygon network. This feature improves network security and offers new opportunities for earning fees, making POL much more attractive,” Brian Quinlivan, lead analyst at Santiment, said.

However, the transition has not been without confusion, especially for retail traders concerned about how the change impacts their portfolios. While the Polygon team has provided detailed steps to guide users through the process, social media influencers have also helped clarify the migration’s implications.
As the migration continues, MATIC will be gradually phased out, giving users ample time to adjust to POL.

ADA Sights More Growth After Breaking $0.8119
My name is Godspower Owie, and I was born and brought up in Edo State, Nigeria. I grew up with my three siblings who have always been my idols and mentors, helping me to grow and understand the way of life.
My parents are literally the backbone of my story. They’ve always supported me in good and bad times and never for once left my side whenever I feel lost in this world. Honestly, having such amazing parents makes you feel safe and secure, and I won’t trade them for anything else in this world.
I was exposed to the cryptocurrency world 3 years ago and got so interested in knowing so much about it. It all started when a friend of mine invested in a crypto asset, which he yielded massive gains from his investments.
When I confronted him about cryptocurrency he explained his journey so far in the field. It was impressive getting to know about his consistency and dedication in the space despite the risks involved, and these are the major reasons why I got so interested in cryptocurrency.
Trust me, I’ve had my share of experience with the ups and downs in the market but I never for once lost the passion to grow in the field. This is because I believe growth leads to excellence and that’s my goal in the field. And today, I am an employee of Bitcoinnist and NewsBTC news outlets.
My Bosses and co-workers are the best kinds of people I have ever worked with, in and outside the crypto landscape. I intend to give my all working alongside my amazing colleagues for the growth of these companies.
Sometimes I like to picture myself as an explorer, this is because I like visiting new places, I like learning new things (useful things to be precise), I like meeting new people – people who make an impact in my life no matter how little it is.
One of the things I love and enjoy doing the most is football. It will remain my favorite outdoor activity, probably because I’m so good at it. I am also very good at singing, dancing, acting, fashion and others.
I cherish my time, work, family, and loved ones. I mean, those are probably the most important things in anyone’s life. I don’t chase illusions, I chase dreams.
I know there is still a lot about myself that I need to figure out as I strive to become successful in life. I’m certain I will get there because I know I am not a quitter, and I will give my all till the very end to see myself at the top.
I aspire to be a boss someday, having people work under me just as I’ve worked under great people. This is one of my biggest dreams professionally, and one I do not take lightly. Everyone knows the road ahead is not as easy as it looks, but with God Almighty, my family, and shared passion friends, there is no stopping me.

PNUT Price Nears Oversold Zone After 20% 24-Hour Decline
PNUT price has dropped more than 20% in the last 24 hours, following its recent surge after being listed on major exchanges, where it reached $2.28. This sharp decline highlights weakening momentum, as indicators like ADX and RSI suggest that the uptrend is fading.
Despite this, PNUT still has the potential for a strong recovery if buyers return. However, if bearish pressure continues, PNUT could face a significant correction, testing key support levels and potentially losing more ground.
PNUT Current Uptrend Is Fading Away
PNUT currently has an ADX of 18.76, significantly down from above 50 just a few days ago. This consistent decline in ADX indicates that the strength of PNUT’s uptrend has been steadily weakening.
Despite still being in an uptrend, the sharp drop in price over the last 24 hours highlights the growing vulnerability of maintaining upward momentum. The ADX suggests a potential reversal could be on the horizon.
The ADX measures the strength of a trend, with values above 25 indicating a strong trend and below 20 indicating a weak or nonexistent trend.
PNUT’s ADX dropping below 20 reflects a weakening trend, even though the current directional movement still leans bullish. If this trend strength continues to deteriorate, PNUT may struggle to sustain its uptrend. That would leave PNUT price vulnerable to a more significant reversal in the near term.
PNUT Is Almost Reaching The Oversold Zone
PNUT currently has an RSI of 32.6, marking its lowest level since being listed on Binance.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) measures the speed and magnitude of price movements, with values above 70 indicating overbought conditions and below 30 signaling oversold levels.
The consistent decline in PNUT’s RSI over the past few days highlights weakening momentum, with the asset now approaching oversold levels.
If the RSI falls below 30, it could signal that PNUT is significantly undervalued in the short term. However, continued bearish sentiment could keep the price under pressure, delaying any recovery.
PNUT Price Prediction: A 72% Correction Ahead?
If PNUT price experiences a reversal and a strong downtrend emerges, it could test the support at $0.749. Should this level fail to hold, the price may drop further to $0.41 and even $0.32, marking a significant potential correction of up to 72%. This would make PNUT be surpassed by other meme coins such as MOG, GOAT, and MEW in terms of market cap.
Such a scenario would indicate increased bearish pressure, with traders potentially continuing to exit positions after the surges following the listing on major exchanges.
On the other hand, if PNUT uptrend regains strength, the price could rise to test the resistances at $1.87 and $2.21.
Breaking through these levels could allow PNUT to retest its previous all-time high of $2.50. That would offer a potential 111% upside and establish PNUT as a top 10 meme coin in the market.

How PNUT, GOAT, BONK Fared
In this weekly analysis of meme coins, BeInCrypto observed that these tokens experienced mixed results. While some tokens saw gains, others grappled with significant losses.
Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT) and AI-created Goatseus Maximus (GOAT) were among the week’s underperformers, both experiencing significant price drops. In contrast, Bonk (BONK) defied market trends, securing its place as one of the top-performing cryptocurrencies. Here’s a detailed recap of the week’s developments.
Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT)
At the beginning of the week, PNUT’s price was $1.94. However, the meme coin’s value has since decreased by 33%. This significant decline could be attributed to selling pressure from those who held the token until it reached an all-time high.
PNUT’s price is currently $1.17. However, the one-hour chart shows that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped to 31.66. When the RSI climbs to 70.00, it means that the asset is overbought.
On the other hand, if it is below 30.00, it means that it is oversold. Therefore, while the RSI reading indicates bearish momentum, it indicates that PNUT is oversold.
As such, the meme coin’s price could be in line for a rebound. If validated, then PNUT’s price could bounce toward $1.40. In a highly bullish scenario, the meme coin could rally toward $1.72. However, if selling pressure increases again, the price could decrease below $1.15 when we publish the next meme coins weekly update.
Goatseus Maximus (GOAT)
Similar to PNUT, GOAT, another meme coin, faced a sharp decline this week, with its price dropping by 22%.
The price of GOAT has fallen to $0.87, possibly due to waning interest in AI-themed meme coins. The shifting narrative in the meme coin market suggests that some traders may be moving on from the AI buzz, seeking opportunities elsewhere.
Adding to the bearish sentiment, GOAT’s 4-hour chart has revealed a head and shoulders pattern, a classic bullish-to-bearish reversal indicator. This formation suggests that the meme coin could face further downside.
If the pattern plays out, coupled with the negative Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), GOAT’s price could decrease to $0.66. However, a surge in buying pressure could invalidate this bias. If that happens, the value could jump to $1.37.
Bonk (BONK)
Contrary to GOAT and PNUT’s performance, Bonk’s price experienced a 28% hike. This price increase happened because the project disclosed that it would burn 1 trillion tokens by December 25 at the latest.
As a result, this disclosure sent euphoria around the Solana meme coin’s community, driving demand and a higher value for the token. However, BONK faces resistance at $0.000050, which has made it challenging for the cryptocurrency to rise much higher.
Despite that, the Bull Bear Power (BBP) shows that bears do not still have control. If sustained, then BONK’s price could move toward $0.000060.
On the flip side, if bears outpace bulls’ dominance, that might not happen, as the next meme coins weekly analysis could see it decline to $0.000043.
