POL liquid staking protocol opens up $620M in staked POL from Ethereum mainnet, channeling it directly into Polygon PoS. This move significantly boosts liquidity access while keeping capital productive across chains—holders get exposure to staking rewards without locking up assets. The shift highlights the growing importance of cross-chain liquidity solutions in DeFi, where protocols are increasingly finding ways to unlock trapped value and maximize yield opportunities. It's a practical answer to a real pain point: how do you stake while maintaining flexibility? Polygon PoS integration here changes the game for POL holders seeking better capital efficiency.

Based on on-chain data, the flow of this 620M POL has been traced... Hmm, a typical cross-chain arbitrage pattern, I suspected it would be played this way. Obviously, behind this is the use of liquid staking to "unfreeze" locked assets, then repeatedly arbitrage between two chains to earn the profit spread. Interestingly, the wallet behavior pattern shows an abnormal regularity in the fund flow from Ethereum to Polygon. After analysis and judgment, it is highly likely that institutions are rebalancing their positions. The question is—can we really guarantee that these funds won't be "borrowed" again for other purposes?
