Current Price & Market Context
Current price: Around $0.24 USD for POL.
Circulating supply is ~10.5-11 billion POL.
POL is intended to replace MATIC over time, serving governance, gas, and protocol utility roles in Polygon 2.0.
My Forecast Scenarios
Below are three scenarios (Bear / Base / Bull) out to end of 2025 and into 2026.
Assumptions to keep in mind:
Crypto market cycles (bull / bear) will influence much of the move
Polygon’s execution on Polygon 2.0 (rollups, restaking, utility) must deliver
Tokenomics, adoption, competition, and regulatory risks play big roles
Scenario Table
Scenario Key Assumptions End-2025 Price Mid-2026 Price Estimate
Bear / Conservative Weak macro, slow adoption, unlock pressure, competition wins $0.10 – $0.18 $0.12 – $0.20
Base / Moderate Steady ecosystem growth, decent adoption, favorable crypto climate $0.25 – $0.40 $0.30 – $0.50
Bull / Aggressive Strong demand, crypto bull market, Polygon becomes leading L2 hub $0.50 – $1.00+ $0.60 – $1.50
My “most likely” estimate is in the Base / Moderate zone, i.e. $0.25 to $0.40 by end of 2025, assuming things go reasonably well. If the broader crypto market surges and Polygon’s updates hit well, I wouldn’t rule out $0.50+.
