Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
The affected funds comprise approximately 23.86 million POL tied to Polymarket and 46.63 million POL tied to Binance. The proposal matters because a hard fork would let the network reclaim the stolen tokens at the protocol level rather than relying on the exchanges or users to recover them. What to watch next is whether validators rally behind the upgrade and how the fork is scheduled and executed.
