Everything you need to know about MATIC to POL migration
In 2023, the Polygon team announced its plan to transition from MATIC to POL, introducing a new token designed to support the network’s future growth. At Bitstamp by Robinhood, we’re fully supporting this upgrade by ensuring a seamless, automatic migration so our MATIC holders don’t have to worry about a thing.
The whole transition will happen in August 2025. We’ll convert all MATIC holdings to POL at a 1:1 ratio.
What’s changing and important dates
Here’s how the transition will unfold:
MATIC lending will end on March 5, 2025
If you’ve been lending MATIC, you’ll continue earning rewards until this date, with final rewards credited to your account by March 10, 2025. If you don’t recall lending MATIC before March 5, it will be automatically liquidated and returned to your account.
Deposits, withdrawals, and trading will be disabled for MATIC on August 14, 2025
After this date, MATIC will no longer be available for deposits, withdrawals, and trading on Bitstamp by Robinhood.
MATIC will automatically be converted to POL at a 1:1 ratio on August 20, 2025
As part of Polygon’s network upgrade, all MATIC held in Bitstamp by Robinhood accounts will be automatically converted to POL at a 1:1 ratio on this date. This process will be handled entirely by Bitstamp by Robinhood. No action is required from you. Once the migration is complete, MATIC will no longer be visible in your account.
Deposits, withdrawals, and trading enabled for POL on August 26, 2025
Following the MATIC to POL migration, full support for POL will go live on Bitstamp by Robinhood starting August 26, 2025. From this date, you’ll be able to deposit, withdraw, and trade POL like any other supported asset on the platform.
Please note: POL trading will not be available to our Bitstamp Europe S.A. customers on August 26. We expect to enable it at a later date, currently targeted at the end of September 2025.
Additionally, Ethereum (ETH) deposits and withdrawals via the Polygon network will also be disabled at this time.
What do you need to do
If you are lending MATIC, make sure to recall your assets before March 5, or we will do it on your behalf.
*Lending is not available in the US, UK, Japan, and Singapore.
