However, times may be changing for the cryptocurrency as the token is beginning to garner the favor of the largest Ethereum whales. Ethereum Whales Buy MATIC Data from WhaleStats shows that MATIC has been on the radar of the top 100 Ethereum whales. These large investors have been buying the digital asset in considerable amounts, enough of it that it is now ranking as a top 3 token traded by the largest Ethereum whales.
