The good news continues for investors in Polygon (CCC:MATIC-USD). The Ethereum (CCC:ETH-USD) scaling and infrastructure development platform is up nearly 13% today on a variety of crypto-friendly news. Polygon price predictions are largely bullish today as experts weigh in on its upside potential.

Rather than one major driver, Polygon’s native crypto, MATIC, is likely being elevated by several stories today. One such example is an announcement detailing a strategic partnership. Today, it was announced that Wanchain and Polygon are teaming up with plans to build a decentralized bridge between the Polygon sidechain and Arbitrum. The bridge will allow direct transfers between the two digital assets. It marks the first instance of decentralized liquidity pools powering a cross-chain bridge, and crypto bulls are buzzing over it.

Additionally, investors are excited ahead of a major event this week. Indeed, Polygon is set to host the zk Summit on Dec. 9. The event will be an opportunity for the crypto to discuss the benefits of “zero knowledge” proofing and also to make a big announcement, which it has teased on Twitter as well as the event site.

Finally, Polygon is also likely getting some lift from a crypto-wide upswing. While MATIC didn’t see the major selloff that cryptos like Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD), Ethereum, Dogecoin (CCC:DOGE-USD) and Shiba Inu (CCC:SHIB-USD) did last week, it is likely still benefitting as these cryptos work their way back up. Indeed, after the steep selloff last week saw many digital assets in the red, it seems a reverse of fortunes could be in the cards for the asset class.
