Coinbase, the leading crypto exchange, has added the Polygon Ecosystem Token (POL) to its roadmap today, leading to a significant surge in POL’s price, which has jumped over 15% to $0.5251. 
The exchange’s <a href="https://x.com/CoinbaseAssets/status/1826296238892863513" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">announcement</a> also includes support for POL on both the Polygon and Ethereum networks, further fueling market interest and activity. This development highlights Coinbase’s commitment to expanding its token offerings and enhancing its users’ trading options. 
In a separate update, Coinbase revealed that it will migrate the Polygon ticker from MATIC to POL on the Polygon network starting August 26, 2024. 
This migration will involve a temporary suspension of send and receive functions for MATIC, as well as for other tokens on the Polygon Network such as VOXEL, USDC, CBETH, and WETH. This measure, lasting until September 10, 2024, is essential for ensuring a smooth transition to the new ticker. 
Coinbase will support POL on the Ethereum network beginning September 4, 2024. This date marks the introduction of POL as an ERC-20 token, expanding its utility and accessibility across different blockchain platforms. 
Users who have MATIC staked through Coinbase will not be affected by the migration in terms of staking rewards; they will continue to earn rewards as usual throughout the transition period. Coinbase will oversee the migration of MATIC balances to POL on behalf of its users and will provide additional details on the timeline and process in the coming months. 
The migration announcement has spurred a strong market reaction, with both POL and MATIC experiencing notable price increases. POL’s price surge reflects increased confidence and demand for the new token, while MATIC’s price rise indicates a positive market sentiment surrounding the transition. Trading volumes for both tokens have soared, reflecting heightened market activity. 
Post-migration, trading and transfers for both MATIC and POL on the Ethereum network will continue seamlessly. This migration is a pivotal step in the evolution of the Polygon network, aiming to enhance the token’s functionality and integration within the broader crypto ecosystem. 
The change is expected to contribute to greater liquidity and usability for POL, positioning it as a key asset in the Polygon ecosystem.
