The latest decision by <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.coinbase.com/blog/increasing-transparency-for-new-asset-listings-on-coinbase" target="_blank">Coinbase to add Polygon Ecosystem Token (POL)</a> to its roadmap marks a significant step by the crypto exchange. The Polygon community seems to have lauded the announcement, as evidenced by the soaring prices of the POL and MATIC tokens.
The exchange started supporting POL on both Polygon and Ethereum networks, enhancing the utility and accessibility of the token for its users. Notably, the “roadmap” listing by the exchange is a replacement for the “assets under consideration” section, which aims to streamline the asset listing process and provide clearer guidance for users.
Meanwhile, the integration of POL marks a significant transition for the Polygon network. In addition, the crypto exchange has announced that it will migrate the Polygon ticker from <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/polygon-announces-pol-rebrand-can-matic-price-follow-through/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MATIC to POL</a> on the Polygon network starting August 26.
This ticker change is one of the critical steps in the network’s evolution, and the exchange has advised users to avoid depositing MATIC on Polygon PoS to prevent any disruptions. Notably, trading and transfers for MATIC will be temporarily disabled on the Polygon network between August 26 and September 10 to facilitate a smooth transition, the exchange said.
The exchange has assured users that those who have staked MATIC through the crypto exchange will continue to receive staking rewards, even as the migration to POL takes place. This move by one of the <a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-exchanges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">top crypto exchanges</a> is expected to enhance the liquidity and usability of POL, positioning it as a key asset within the crypto ecosystem.

The addition of POL to Coinbase’s roadmap has sparked a positive market reaction, as evidenced by the surge in the tokens’ prices. As of writing, POL price jumped 15% to $0.5251, with its trading volume skyrocketing 115% to $944,379.
Simultaneously, the <a href="https://coingape.com/price/polygon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MATIC price</a> jumped about 16% to $0.5252, with its trading volume soaring 90% to $406.73 million. In addition, a recent <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/polygon-price-correction-whales-buy-0-60/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Polygon price analysis</a> indicates that the crypto could target the $0.60 level next.
Meanwhile, as the exchange prepares to fully migrate from MATIC to POL, the exchange has outlined a detailed plan to ensure a smooth transition for its users. The migration is set to be completed in the coming months, with Coinbase providing updates on the timeline and process.
During this period, trading for both MATIC and POL on Ethereum will continue, ensuring that users have access to their assets without interruption.
