While the purpose of the transfer remains unclear, Cuban’s investment valued the assets at $4.25 million in May 2021. 

If sold at the current market price, it would represent a potential 40% loss compared to two years ago. As of press time, Cuban made no public statements on the matter.

Mark Cuban, known as the former majority owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team (now minority owner), backed Polygon in May 2021, saying he was using the layer-2 solution “more and more.”

The latest move comes just a day after Polygon founder Mihailo Bjelic said in an X post that “for all practical purposes, Polygon can (again) be considered an underdog.”
