đŸ”„ Myth vs Reality: Debunking Polygon’s $POL – L2 Edition! 📖


Myth ❌: Polygon’s just another ETH sidechain—slow and irrelevant.
Reality ✅: Rio upgrade (Oct 8, 2025) hits 5,000+ TPS, powering $1.242B TVL (DeFiLlama) with AggLayer unification—faster than rivals!


Myth ❌: $POL’s a meme token with no utility.
Reality ✅: $0.199 (CoinMarketCap, Oct 22, 2025), it’s gas, 5-7% staking ($500M+ locked), PIP votes (Oct 6 caps)—real economics for DeFi (Aave $322M) and RWAs ($271M).


Myth ❌: No real adoption—hype only.
Reality ✅: Jio’s 1B users, Walmart/Franklin RWAs, $134B USDC flows, AMINA staking (Oct 9), Coinbase swap (Oct 14-17). Nailwal’s Ethereum debate (Oct 21) spotlights L2 strength!


Myth ❌: Overvalued in bear market.
Reality ✅: Undervalued—GigaGas to 100k TPS by 2026, eyeing $1-$2 amid ETF inflows.
