MATIC, the native token of Polygon, is the highest performing cryptocurrency in CoinMarketCap\u2019s top 50 list by market capitalization over the past 24 hours, with gains of about 20%.<\/p>\n
MATIC reached its highest level since early June, in the mid-$6.0 range, a day after Polygon was selected for Walt Disney\u2019s benchmark business growth program.<\/p>\n
According to a Disney release, Polygon is one of the six organizations that will participate in the company\u2019s 2022 Accelerator Program, a business and development initiative created to promote the expansion of creative businesses globally.<\/p>\n

As of this writing, MATIC is trading at $0.656, up 20.3% in the last seven days, data by Coingecko show, Thursday, its highest level in a month. In doing so, the token also surpassed its 50-day exponential moving average (EMA), the sloping red resistance mark that had constrained MATIC\u2019s gains since January of this year.<\/p>\n
This week marks the launch of the Disney Accelerator program, which aims to explore new technologies inside augmented reality (AR), non-fungible tokens, and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n

The recent rebound in MATIC is also significant from a technical perspective and may portend a near-term turnaround in the cryptocurrency\u2019s fate. According to pundits, the new surge in the token\u2019s price paves the way for additional gains towards $7.50.<\/p>\n
MATIC Faring Better Than BTC & ETH<\/p>\n
Polygon was once known as Matic Network. MATIC is an Ethereum token that enables the Polygon Network, an Ethereum scaling solution. Using Layer 2 sidechains, which are blockchains that operate parallel to the Ethereum main chain, Polygon intends to make Ethereum transactions faster and more affordable.<\/p>\n
MATIC\u2019s upward movement was synchronized with intraday recovery moves observed elsewhere in the cryptocurrency market. Polygon performed better than the majority of its heavyweight competitors, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH). Walt Disney may be the driving force behind MATIC\u2019s improved performance.<\/p>\n\n
