The Polygon crypto price began seeing immense growth in 2021, when congestion and very high transaction fees on Ethereum made it clear that scaling solutions are necessary. With the token rallying throughout the year, the MATIC crypto reached its all-time high in December 2021 at just under $3.

Let’s go through some of the biggest price milestones that the MATIC price has seen since its launch in 2019.
