MATIC (migrated to POL)

MATIC (migrated to POL) is a migration-era cryptocurrency, meant for people who followed Polygon before its token transition and need to keep the naming straight. By our assessment, the most concrete thing about it is the transition itself: it signals that the old MATIC label is no longer the cleanest way to think about the asset. That makes it useful as a reference point, but not especially elegant as a product for newcomers. The upside is clarity for existing holders and market watchers who need to track what happened to the token identity. The downside is the extra confusion that comes with any migration, because names, tickers, and expectations can lag behind one another. In practice, this is the sort of crypto that forces careful reading of labels, not casual guessing. It belongs to users who already know the Polygon story and do not mind paperwork in token form.
