MATIC's market cap fell 16% QoQ, ending the quarter at $4.9B.
Revenue fell 56% QoQ to $5.1 million in USD terms.
The decline in revenue was due to a 60% QoQ decline in the avg transaction fee going from $0.05 to $0.02.
As part of the Polygon 2.0 upgrade, MATIC is being phased out in favor of POL.
POL was activated on mainnet on Oct 25th.
