Primary development team behind the Polygon ecosystem, Polygon Labs announced a partnership with Cypher Capital, a global investment firm focused on digital assets and Web3 innovation, to broaden institutional access to POL, Polygon’s native token.
Following Cypher Capital’s recent acquisition of a substantial POL holding, the firms will collaborate on structured strategies that allow institutional investors to gain exposure, generate yield, and support the network’s growth and security.
As part of this initiative, Polygon Labs and Cypher Capital plan to host institutional roundtables and exclusive events aimed at increasing awareness of POL among major financial institutions and family offices. As digital assets continue to evolve into investable categories with tangible outcomes, POL provides institutions with direct participation in a network that powers a wide range of Web3 applications, aligning long-term capital with protocol value.
Recognized increasingly as foundational blockchain infrastructure, POL is being positioned as an institutional-grade opportunity, offering allocators potential yield through active engagement with Polygon’s economic framework.
Cypher Capital plans to direct institutional capital into POL-focused strategies, enhance liquidity across major trading platforms, and streamline token access for limited partners and asset managers, prioritizing efficiency, ease of use, and alignment with long-term objectives.
Aishwary Gupta, Global Head of Payments, Exchanges & RWA at Polygon Labs, commented in a written statement that they were seeing sustained demand from institutional investors for yield-generating digital assets backed by real network activity and added that Cypher Capital understood how to navigate both the traditional and decentralized finance (DeFi) landscapes, noting that their role would be instrumental in expanding institutional participation in POL.
The initiative reflected their belief that infrastructure-level assets like POL are becoming increasingly relevant to institutional portfolios, highlighted Harsh Agarwal, Investment Director at Cypher Capital in a written statement.
The initiative aligns with Polygon Labs’ broader objective of increasing accessibility to professional capital. Upgrades to core technologies, including Polygon PoS and Agglayer, are facilitating new applications for stablecoins, RWAs, and cross-chain operations. Planned infrastructure improvements, such as the gigagas upgrade, are anticipated to achieve transaction finality in under five seconds and expand throughput beyond existing capabilities.
