Polygon CEO Sandeep Nailwal Weighs Reverting POL to MATIC, Urges Broad Community Feedback Beyond Crypto Twitter

COINOTAG reports that Polygon CEO Sandeep Nailwal used the X platform on November 26 to flag a ticker debate: should exchanges be urged to revert the POL ticker back to MATIC due to higher recognition of MATIC? He noted that MATIC is broadly familiar, yet disclosed a personal preference to preserve the current symbol, i.e., keep POL in circulation.

He also stressed that major project decisions should not hinge on Crypto Twitter alone, citing that the Crypto Twitter audience accounts for less than 5% of total crypto trading activity. Nailwal said he seeks input from a wider base of users, while acknowledging there is no guarantee that exchanges will approve any ticker change.

The episode underscores branding versus market dynamics, as Polygon weighs stakeholder sentiment and potential liquidity implications before any formal discussions with exchanges.
