Polygon has published an updated Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation white paper for POL, adding new identifiers and documenting the token’s admission to trading across a long list of EU and EEA platforms.

The update is easy to overlook because it is a compliance document rather than a product launch. But under MiCA, these filings increasingly determine which crypto assets can be offered or admitted to trading across regulated European venues.

The current POL MiCAR white paper is version 2.0 and was published on September 15.

The filing was updated with new token identifiers

Polygon says the original POL white paper was notified to the Central Bank of Ireland in December 2025 and published in January 2026. An updated version was submitted on August 25, 2026 to add the applicable Digital Token Identifier information required by the current submission process.

The revised document lists a broad range of trading venues where POL has effectively been admitted to trading in the EU or European Economic Area, including major international exchanges and several Europe-focused platforms.

That does not mean the Central Bank of Ireland “approved” POL as an investment. MiCA white-paper notification is a regulatory disclosure process, not an endorsement of the asset’s value or risk profile.

Compliance paperwork is becoming market infrastructure

For crypto investors, white-paper updates can look administrative. For exchanges, issuers and token foundations, they are becoming part of the practical infrastructure needed to maintain market access.

MiCA is forcing projects to formalize information that previously lived across websites, technical documentation and exchange listings. That includes issuer-related disclosures, token characteristics, risks and standardized identifiers.

As enforcement matures, compliant distribution may become a competitive advantage of its own. Tokens with complete documentation and clear responsibility for updates can be easier for regulated platforms to support than assets with ambiguous legal or technical disclosures.

POL’s September update is therefore less about a new feature for Polygon and more about the slow institutionalization of crypto markets in Europe.
