Polygon’s rebranding of its native token has ignited a heated debate about whether to revert back to the familiar MATIC ticker. Growing confusion among users and long-term holders is prompting project leaders to reconsider their decision made just last year. While Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal acknowledges continued difficulties in user recognition for the new POL ticker, he also emphasizes the importance of maintaining brand familiarity, especially for casual users who may have relied on MATIC for years. 2023 saw MATIC’s market decline to under $1.29, a far cry from its all-time high in early 2024. This, coupled with difficulties in identifying the new POL ticker, has fueled the debate about whether staying with POL or reverting to MATIC would be best for Polygon’s future.
