In recent months, the world of NFTs has witnessed a significant evolution. If in the past the focus was mainly on digital art, today the focus is shifting towards tangible assets, and at the forefront of this transformation is Polygon, which has recently surpassed Ethereum in terms of weekly sales.

In comparison, Ethereum stopped at 21.8 million, while Mythos Chain and Bitcoin totaled 14.3 million and 14.1 million respectively. This jump led Polygon to hold 24% of the global NFT transaction volume, out of a weekly total of 92.9 million dollars.

Polygon NFTs have generated $22.1 m in weekly volume, passing Ethereum and Bitcoin and attracting nearly 59 % more buyers.

On April 8, Aavegotchi's community members voted 93.5% in favor of a proposal to “Make Aavegotchi Based Again” by deprecating the protocol's smart contracts on Polygon and re-deploying on Base, according to Aavegochti's governance page.

The move follows sharp drops in user activity and total value locked on Polygon as Base's usage climbs

TL;DR The Aavegotchi community approved, with over 95% support, the migration from Polygon to Base and the deactivation of the Geist contract. All game assets will be duplicated on Base, while contracts on Polygon will be locked to prevent changes or transfers.

The traditional four-year crypto market cycle, once closely tied to Bitcoin halving events, is no longer as predictable as it once was.

The halving, once the war drum of the bull market, has fallen silent. In the silence, Bitcoin seeks a new rhythm in a crypto market that dances differently.

The four-year crypto market cycle that traders and investors have become accustomed to is no longer as pronounced due to the maturation of crypto as an asset class and the participation of institutional investors, according to Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal.During a recent episode of Cointelegraph's Chain Reaction, Nailwal said that Overall speculative activity is down due to high interest rates in the United States and low-liquidity conditions, but will rebound once rates are cut and the Trump administration settles into its new role. Although interest rates on 10-year Treasury bonds have come down significantly, rates still remain relatively high.

This move brings enterprise-grade infrastructure to the Injective ecosystem. It makes it easier for developers to build, launch, and scale applications.

The strong gains in the past two and a half days meant that POL had a bullish structure on the 4-hour timeframe.
