Billionaire investor Mark Cuban has made an investment in Polygon, a layer 2 Ethereum scaling solution.

• Cuban confirmed the investment in an email to CoinDesk but would not disclose its size or composition.
• The price of MATIC, the native token of Polygon, is up more than 9,535% year to date, according to Messari.
