Helmed by The Walt Disney Company, Disney Accelerator is the largest business development program designed to accelerate the growth of cutting-edge entertainment companies across the globe.
In 2022, the program is focused on use cases that involve augmented reality (AR), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and artificial intelligence (AI).
MATIC, Polygon’s token, immediately reacted to the announcement. The MATIC price added over 25% in less than seven hours, revisiting a five-week high of over $0.65.
By press time, the price of MATIC slightly dropped; it is changing hands at $0.625 on major spot trading platforms. However, it still remains the top performing coin among all large-cap altcoins.
The Disney Accelerator program is set to start this week. Polygon Network (MATIC) will be accompanied there by Flickplay and Lockerverse Web3 social apps, AI start-ups InVerse and Obsess and AR innovators Red 6.
Previously, the Polygon (MATIC) price was catalyzed by integration with fintech heavyweight Robinhood and the upcoming launch of Reddit’s NFT marketplace.
