Price of the cryptocurrency Polygon: Can Polygon's technology drive the token's price recovery?
Polygon's native cryptocurrency, POL, is trading around $0.258 as of May 13, 2025, still far from its all-time highs and struggling to gain strong upward momentum. Polygon is best known as a "Layer 2" network for Ethereum.
That means it helps scale Ethereum by moving activity off the main blockchain while still leveraging its security. But now, Polygon is advancing beyond a single network.
Under its "Polygon 2.0" plan, it is evolving into a complete ecosystem of connected chains, powered by a new technology called zkEVM—zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine. This technology promises more efficient and secure transactions.
But long-term optimists like DigitalCoinPrice see a much brighter future, predicting that POL could reach $3.91 by the end of 2025 if adoption takes off.
Polygon recently launched the Agglayer Unlock Program to incubate and launch high-impact blockchain projects. Graduated projects allocated 5% to 15% of their token supply to POL stakers through airdrops.
