Polygon Foundation CEO Touts 'Benefits' of Holding POL as Active Addresses Slide
Polygon Foundation CEO Sandeep Nailwal emphasized that holders of the network’s token, POL, directly benefit from the ecosystem’s growth, including through transaction fees, staking rewards, and future interoperability fees from Agglayer. The POL token features a deflationary design, with 100% of base transaction fees burned; recent demand resulted in a one-day burn of 3 million POL, and a projected annual burn rate of 5% of the total supply if current trends persist. Despite recent bullish messaging and a surge in daily network revenue from $13,000 to $200,000 since December, POL’s price experienced volatility—spiking and then dropping 6.7%. Active addresses also declined sharply over the same period. Analysts attribute recent price swings to typical post-announcement volatility and see enhanced token utility, burns, and staking as improving POL’s long-term foundation. Polygon also unveiled the “Open Money Stack,” an initiative aiming to move all money onchain, positioning the network for global financial adoption. Experts remain optimistic about the fundamentals and expect POL to consolidate within the $0.15–$0.25 range in the near term.
