Overview
- Announced Sept. 12, the initiative launches investor roundtables, structured access, and liquidity work to open POL to funds, corporates, and family offices across the region.
- Dubai-based Cypher Capital will help navigate regulation and distribution in local markets, with multiple outlets reporting it has taken a sizable POL allocation.
- Polygon is framing POL as a yield-generating infrastructure asset tied to network participation, aiming to deepen market depth across major trading venues.
- The push leans on recent GigaGas milestones—sub‑five‑second finality and roughly 1,000 TPS—plus a completed POL migration with staking live on Ethereum.
- Targeting a region with supportive rules and rising allocator interest, the program is in early rollout with product specifics and clearances still to be detailed; reports also note a recent node bug that coincided with a ~4% POL price dip.
