⚙️ Support Factors and Future Trends
The announcement of the Heimdall V2 upgrade (July 10, 2025) is accompanied by an increase of approximately +7–8% in the price of POL.
The gradual transition from MATIC to POL as part of a long-term strategy (4 years) strengthens future demand for POL.
Increased network activity, the expansion of dApps, and an increase in state storage (restaking) may positively reflect on the price of POL.
