MATIC slides 4% as Polygon deploys new token contract on Ethereum
The Polygon team says the new token has nothing to do with the recent events in the regulatory environment related to the MATIC legal status. Polygon (MATIC) has announced the launch of a smart contract on the Ethereum mainnet for its new token POL as part of the project’s roadmap 2.0.
