Polygon Labs is collaborating with Cypher Capital, a Dubai-based venture firm at the center of the Middle East’s Web3 economy, to expand regional institutional access to POL.

The initiative brings long-term capital into the Polygon ecosystem. Cypher Capital recently acquired a strategic POL position and will channel institutional capital into POL strategies to improve market liquidity. This makes it easier for limited partners and asset managers to gain exposure to the token.

As part of the collaboration, Cypher Capital will provide institutions exposure to POL, enable yield-generation strategies, strengthen the network’s growth and security, and bring high-touch regional roundtables to address local credibility.

Institutional-grade money rails

Polygon is building the decentralized, blockchain-based money rails of the future. In recent months, there’s been a surge of network activity:

  • $3.4B stablecoin supply 
  • 284M transactions in Q2
  • $385B Q2 stablecoin volume
  • 9.4M monthly active addresses

An increase in network activity comes as Polygon continues to upgrade, becomingthe primer payments chain. 

Core developers are executing on Polygon’s GigaGas roadmap, delivering key performance benchmarks: sub-5 second finality for near-instant settlement and 1,500+ TPS throughput for high-volume capacity. More upgrades, like increasing gas limits to boost network throughput, are coming by the end of the year. 

Polygon brings the technical maturity and robust future-proof roadmap required to support high-frequency stablecoin settlements, tokenized RWAs, and cross-border capital flows, at institutional scale.
