He believes the drop is attributable to macro issues rather than any inherent Web3 shortcomings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, he seeks to rekindle investor trust by stating that he believes Polygon will weather the storm. However, despite a rise in Web3 ambition partnerships, Polygon still has a long way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, since the beginning of the year, the Polygon has lost 66% of its total value locked (TVL). Polygon's TVL was over $5.44 billion on January 1, and it declined to around $1.82 billion on June 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polygon co-founder believes bear market won't last long<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Polygon's co-founder Sandeep Nailwal, expressed his thoughts on the crypto market crash and its influence on the Web3 in a tweet\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> on June 14. He believes the bear market will last a long time, but that once the Federal Reserve removes the uncertainty, a tremendous bullish recovery would occur. However, given sticky inflation and fears of stagflation, Nailwal believes the chances of it happening are slim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sandeep Nailwal, speaking about the private market, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of VC funds have raised a LOT of capital, even though they will be careful in selecting their bets, and acceptable valuations would be much lower but I expect the thesis based VCs to keep deploying. Most of them will also play in liquid markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He believes that projects reaching product-market fit (PMF) will be able to raise funds, but that those that haven't should focus on surviving, taking consultancy work, and decreasing expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sandeep Nailwal, projects like Polygon can create generational value because they have a robust treasury with plenty of funds <\/a>to sustain a project for 2-3 years. Large investors will return to crypto in 3-6 months after the Fed has hiked rates by 50-75 basis points 2-3 times, and markets will be able to return to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MATIC plummets almost 85%<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Polygon's MATIC<\/a> token has dropped almost 85% since the beginning of the year due to market pressure. MATIC began the year with a trading price of $2.53 and has recently dropped to a 52-week low of $0.3985. The price of MATIC is now $0.42 at the time of writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
