The price of Polygon (CCC:MATIC-USD) has increased by more than 12% in the past 24 hours on the heels of some very exciting news. With the winter solstice yesterday, MATIC crypto investors are hoping that predictions for a crypto winter will cease. As of today, Polygon is the 14th-largest cryptocurrency based on market capitalization, trailing Shiba Inu’s (CCC:SHIB-USD) market cap of $19.8 billion.
There is another reason for the rise in Polygon prices, though.
Today, Opera announced that it would support Polygon in its native wallet. Opera is a legacy web browser that added a built-in crypto wallet and Web 3.0 support in 2018. The move would make Polygon Opera’s first supported layer-2 token. Additionally, users of Opera would have “seamless access” to Polygon and over 3,000 decentralized apps on the Polygon network. However, support for Polygon isn’t expected to start until Q1 of 2022. Moreover, the release will initially be available to Android users only. iPhone users will have to wait a bit longer.
Opera also recently announced that it would provide support for Solana (CCC:SOL-USD) on its native wallet starting in Q1 of 2022. This is great news for both cryptocurrencies, as Opera boasts an online audience of approximately 380 million people.
Polygon price predictions are in high demand as investors digest the recent Opera news. Let’s jump right in.
