The growth in activity was mainly driven by the MATR1X FIRE game developed by MATR1X. The market value of Polygon's stablecoins increased to $1.5 billion, a 19% increase compared to the previous period. USDT strengthened its position as the leading stablecoin, with a 29% increase in market value to $792 million, accounting for 53% of the total stablecoin market value.
