POL Polygon News Express: Is a new round of POL destruction on the way?
Polygon's news today comes from co-founder Sandeep Nailwal, who says another 22 million POL tokens are scheduled for the next phase of the destruction process. This amount represents approximately 0.20 per cent of the total supply.
This announcement comes just weeks after Polygon previously removed 100 million $POL from circulation. Nailwal also hinted that the impact of the "Open Money Stack" on POL will be more profound than currently perceived in the market, and promised to release more details soon.
How large was the first Polygon token destruction?
Polygon confirmed the first supply reduction on September 23, 2026. The deal removed 100 million $POL units, or approximately 1% of supply, and PolygonScan transaction records show it was successfully executed.
Nailwal said that the destruction was supported by expenses incurred by the network. Previously, he mentioned that the balance of the fee collector was close to 121 million POLs, and after deducting the destruction of 100 million POLs, about 21 million POLs remained. The data on Polygon's network fees comes from his statements rather than the results of an independent audit.
The new post did not specify where the 22 million $POL pieces were stored or when the supply decreased. Although quarterly community-triggered destruction was part of early plans, no specific date has been set.
Why is 22 million POLs critical to reduced supply?
Based on the price of approximately US$0.10/$POL on the market tracker on October 12, 2026, the value of 22 million tokens is approximately US$2.2 million. This is a simple calculation and prices fluctuate daily. This amount is relatively small compared to the first decrease in supply.
The bigger signal is "repeatability". Basic costs continue to flow into the collector, and destruction activities may follow. This is the core of this week's story of declining Polygon's supply in Polygon Crypto News.
Nailwal said POL has been deflationary since January 2026. POL still retains 2% of its annual issuance, close to the 200 million coins in the original 10 billion supply. The first supply reduction alone covers about half of annual circulation. Net supply depends on destruction over multiple quarters, and the post did not give net supply data.
Can the open money stack promote the next destruction?
The second claim from Polygon News today concerns OMS. Nailwal said last week was the second consecutive week that OMS annualized transaction volume exceeded US$1 billion. However, he did not provide currency units, dashboard details or breakdowns. This makes this just a project statement rather than verified data.
Polygon Open Money Stack 是 Polygon 的稳定币支付平台，于 2026 年 1 月宣布。它结合了钱包、合规工具、法币接入以及 Polygon Chain 上的结算功能。
该平台亮相时引发了明显的 POL 价格反应，尽管此后价格走势取决于更广泛的市场条件。
帖子的其余部分主要是情绪表达。Nailwal 表示 Polygon 致力于取胜，并提及自 2023 年 4 月以来多年来的批评。这部分内容并未提供新的数据。
专家观点：在下一次 $POL 销毁前需关注什么
数据表明，供应量减少正转变为一种 recurring process（周期性过程），而非一次性事件。接下来有三个关键数字值得关注：下一次供应量减少的日期、收集器余额以及排放后的净供应量。
主要的不确定性仍然在于 OMS 的数据。由于缺乏单位和公开来源，目前无法将其与费用收入直接挂钩。此外，更大的销毁量并不保证更高的 $POL 价格，因为需求和更广泛的加密市场环境仍在决定市场价格。
结论
Today's Polygon news points to the second destruction stage, that is, after the supply of 100 million pieces was reduced, another 22 million pieces of $POL were queued for destruction. The OMS transaction volume proposition adds a perspective on the payment area, but still lacks independent confirmation. The next confirmation will be achieved through on-chain destruction transactions and updated supply data. This latest Polygon news is also placed in the broader context of cryptocurrency news around stablecoins and payments.
