Polygon Txs Surpass BNB Chain

Polygon eclipsed BNB Chain in average daily transactions for the week of Dec. 18, pushing nearly 3 million transactions per day. This is the second time Polygon has surpassed BNB Chain for this metric in 2022.

The most recent transaction influx arose partly from the launch of ex-US President Donald Trump’s NFT collection on Polygon. Mr. Trump’s NFT sale drew several large sales, with the highest going for the equivalent of over $22,000 USD.

Data from Nansen also shows that over 332,000 users minted NFTs over the past week on Polygon, a significant uptick from the previous weeks.

Polygon has also had a marquee year for partnerships, linking with Instagram (Meta), Reddit, Starbucks, Disney, and more. The competition with BNB Chain has only just begun.
