Cryptocurrency analytics firm IntoTheBlock reveals that whales own 88% of the supply of Polygon (MATIC), a scaling solution designed to drive widespread adoption of decentralized applications on the Ethereum blockchain. The crypto analytics firm sees large holders as holdings at least 0.1% of MATIC’s circulating supply. It is known that 6,872,890,164 MATIC tokens are in circulation.

IntoTheBlock also adds that 100% of MATIC traders are currently either in the money or in profits, as Polygon climbs to an all-time high of $2.90. Looking at the composition of owners by holding period, the crypto analytics firm shows that 77% of addresses have held MATIC for between 1 and 12 months, and 21% for less than a month. Only 2% of addresses have held MATIC for more than a year. IntoTheBlock also looks at the amount of MATIC entering and exiting crypto exchanges. The analytics firm states that market participants have deposited $708.34 million worth of MATIC tokens on crypto exchanges in the past seven days, with exits or withdrawals of $618.24 million in the same time frame.
