The data is up, so whatever you say makes sense; there will always be great scholars debating it. I feel the polymarket is what boosted @0xPolygon's volume. But the article's analysis attributes it to the payment sector. I know a little about that; India's OTC market is basically unregulated… Pol is great in every way except for its price; inflation is low. Even the expected returns from staking mining are good. It lacks price discovery.
