Polygon’s POL token rebounded from the $0.10 psychological support after retesting this area at the start of January and over the weekend, gaining 15.25% on 2 January.

On February 3 2026, Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin used X to revisit the role of Ethereum's layer-2 networks, arguing that the original vision for L2s no longer fits current conditions.
