Polygon has shared a new stablecoin milestone. In this Polygon news update, the network says USDT0 now has more than 8.1 million holders on Polygon, the largest holder base of any chain. The official X post describes it as three years of Polygon USDT0 growth.

The post came with a chart of USDT0 holders by chain. It shows 13.6 million holders in total, marked as 346% growth over the period shown. Polygon alone accounts for close to 60% of that base.
The chart comes from Token Terminal and tracks asset holders by chain. Polygon leads with 8.1 million. Arbitrum One follows with 4.3 million, and Plasma sits third at 691.7 thousand.

Polygon holds 8.1 million holders against 4.3 million on Arbitrum One. That is a gap of 3.8 million. Together, the two chains cover about 12.4 million of the 13.6 million total, or roughly 91%.
Every other chain on the chart sits below 700 thousand holders.
USDT0 is an omnichain version of USDT, built to move across networks. The chart shows where holders sit. It does not show why they chose a chain.
It also does not break down balances, wallet activity or transfer volume. A holder count is not the same as supply. Even so, the figure adds a data point to the Polygon stablecoin adoption 2026 picture, which sits inside a wider run of stablecoin news on regulation and ETFs.
The Polygon news today cycle includes a second post from the same account. It is a purple card headed "Dear Everyone". The text says the team is not shutting down.

The card also says Polygon is on track for a record year in payments across chain settlement, wallet integrations, and ramp rollouts. It adds that an announcement is planned for the following day.
The card responds to talk on social media. It does not say what prompted that talk or what the announcement will contain. Those details remain unconfirmed.
Holder counts do not move POL price on their own. Market direction on the day, as seen in crypto news today, tends to matter more than a single metric.
Neither post includes price data, so no market reaction can be confirmed. What the figure does add is a payments angle for Polygon, which now sits next to token supply and network fees.
The data suggests Polygon leads on holder count, not necessarily on volume or balances. The main uncertainty remains how many of the 8.1 million wallets are active.
Newer chains such as Plasma and Tempo already appear on the chart. A shift in incentives or new launches could change the split. The promised announcement is the next item to confirm. Until balance and activity data appear, this Polygon news update stays a holder story.
Polygon reports more than 8.1 million USDT0 holders, the largest base among the chains shown. The total across all chains is 13.6 million. Open points are activity data, balances and the details of the next announcement. Further Polygon news will show how the holder lead develops.
