This follows news that Fox Corporation has partnered with Polygon to verify the accuracy of news content.

According to a statement from Polygon, the program is called Verify. Publishers can register their content in order to “prove origination.”

The data will be stored on the Polygon blockchain. This will allow customers to decipher accurate and legitimate sources using the tool.

Meanwhile, prominent crypto influencer Lark Davis pointed out to his 1.1 million followers that “Polygon POS has surpassed Solana in terms of daily active addresses.”

Polygon’s Price Coverage in Recent Times

BeInCrypto has been reporting on MATIC’s price movements regularly in recent times.

On January 9, it was reported that Polygon’s MATIC price bounced after the team announced a new upgrade on transaction fee calculations.

Despite the bounce, MATIC still trades inside a bearish pattern. This has gone on for nearly 60 days.

Furthermore, it was reported that the MATIC price experienced a decline below a long-term descending resistance trend line since December 2021, when it was trading at its all-time high of $2.90.

This rapid descent led to a low of $0.32 in June.
