CoinGecko shows price $0.07988, market cap $851M, FDV $851M, circulating and total supply both 10,656,711,546 POL. MetaMask and Bybit corroborate ~$0.078-$0.08 and ~$827M-$840M market cap.

CoinGecko lists ATH $1.29 (March 13, 2024), ~93.8% below peak, rank #79; a separate CoinGecko snapshot showed rank #78.

Polygon's official blog states ~99% of MATIC migrated to POL at a 1:1 ratio and every Polygon PoS transaction has used POL for gas since September 2024.

Polygon's 2.0 tokenomics blog earmarks 2% emissions over a decade, half to the PoS staking contract and half to the community treasury; multiple secondary sources confirm the 2% figure.

MEXC and ecosystem reviews cite ~3.6 billion POL locked in staking contracts, roughly one third of the ~10.66B supply; validator set is capped at 103 active validators.

Everstake displays ~2.58% APR (0% fee), Kraken advertises up to ~3.19% APR, and other sources cite a 1.7%-4% range; net emission after burns has been described as ~1.5%.

MEXC reports daily burns of ~1M POL exceeding emissions by more than double; a separate tracker noted ~25.7M POL destroyed cumulatively, possibly exceeding 3% over 2026. Burn rates are volatile and tied to network activity.

CoinDesk and Polygon's blog confirm Mastercard began settling card transactions on Polygon in USDC, PYUSD, USDG, USDP, RLUSD and SoFiUSD; early adopters include Cross River, Lead Bank, CBW Bank, ARQ and Nuvei.

CoinMarketCap top-stories cite Polygon processing $79B in stablecoins in May (26% of activity, ahead of BNB Chain and Solana) and ~3,800 TPS after a May upgrade; the Gigagas roadmap targets 100k TPS. Single-aggregator volume claim warrants caution.

Reports cite Polygon PoS DeFi TVL ending 2025 around $1.16B with ecosystem TVL up to ~$1.42B; Messari Q1 2025 had TVL at $744.8M, indicating growth. DefiLlama is the canonical source but returned 403 on direct fetch.

Messari Q4 2025 framing cites stablecoin supply ~$2.96B (+80.1% YoY) with USDC ~$1.34B; Polygon handles $8B+ in monthly stablecoin transfers. Earlier reports cited a ~$2.1B stablecoin cap, so the figure has been rising.

Messari Q1 2025 reported ~546K daily active addresses (+4.4% QoQ) and ~3.4M daily transactions (+8% QoQ); Polygon's site cites 156M+ cumulative addresses and ~634K active addresses in a recent 24h window.

Messari Q4 2025 framing places Polygon 9th by RWA value at ~$1.08B, citing growing demand from traditional financial institutions and tokenized collectibles.

Messari notes pessimistic proofs live on AggLayer mainnet Feb 3, 2025; 2026 reviews describe AggLayer's Unified Bridge and a full-maturity target with unified liquidity expected around February 2026. Exact rollout timing is fluid.

CoinCodex shows price below 50-day (~$0.093) and 200-day (~$0.107) SMAs with RSI ~32 and 27 bearish vs 2 bullish signals; June 2025 price ~$0.21 and Dec-2025/early-2026 price ~$0.10-$0.13 imply ~-62% (12m) and ~-25% to -35% (6m) returns. RSI varies (mid-50s on other panels).

Crypto-ETF coverage in 2026 highlights pending Solana, Polkadot, Cardano and Avalanche products but no specific approved POL spot ETF; analyses note institutional capital remains concentrated in BTC/ETH/SOL.

Multiple analyses describe POL as a 'good network story, poor token story': if emissions continue, competition intensifies and usage does not convert into POL value capture, the token can stay near its April 2026 lows despite strong partner logos.
