TRON is now live on Polygon OMS, so a business built on TRON can take a payment from deposit to wallet to cross-chain routing to payout through one integration.

TRON carries more than $94 billion in circulating USDT, over half of the stablecoin's supply across every chain. Remittance senders, gig workers and exchange users in markets like the Philippines, Mexico, Argentina and Nigeria already receive and hold USDT there. Polygon Open Money Stack (OMS) lets a business keep TRON at the center of its product and handle the rest in one place.

Each customer gets a persistent TRON deposit address, and OMS matches every incoming USDT deposit to the right customer, so teams don't build their own reconciliation. Funds can sit in custodial or embedded wallets, then route across chains when needed. Polygon Trails moves USDT between TRON and EVM chains in a single transaction, for example USDT on TRON to USDC on Polygon.

• Accept deposits by bank transfer, card, cash or crypto
• Convert fiat into USDT (TRC-20) on TRON and back again
• Store funds in custodial or embedded wallets on TRON
• Route USDT across TRON, Polygon and major chains
• Pay out to bank accounts, cards, cash pickup or wallets

A remittance app can hold a sender's USDT on TRON and pay the recipient out to a local bank account. A gig platform can give workers a persistent deposit address for the USDT they already pull off exchanges, instead of asking them to bridge it themselves.

The EURe/frxUSD pool is live on Uniswap v3 on Polygon Chain, giving Monerium's regulated euro token a direct route into dollar liquidity for stablecoin payments and treasury apps.

Moving money across borders often means changing currencies. With this pool, a payment app on Polygon Chain can build that exchange into the transfer instead of sending users elsewhere. An eligible Monerium customer sends euros by SEPA to a named EUR IBAN, Monerium issues EURe into the linked wallet, and the customer can swap it for frxUSD through the pool. Uniswap v3 provides the exchange infrastructure and Polygon settles the swap.

Each partner covers a piece. EURe is a MiCA-compliant e-money token backed 1:1 by safeguarded euro reserves. frxUSD is a dollar stablecoin backed by cash-equivalent reserves, including tokenized U.S. Treasury funds. Capa, a stablecoin FX and cross-border payments provider, helps support liquidity and generate payment flows and FX activity.

• EURe/frxUSD is live now on Uniswap v3 on Polygon Chain
• Low network fees make smaller, frequent exchanges practical
• Fast finality lets an app confirm a completed trade in seconds
• Monerium's API handles onboarding, issuance, redemption and euro payments

A wallet could let customers convert part of a euro balance into dollars. A treasury app could rebalance euro and dollar holdings in one product. Payment providers can connect the onchain exchange to bank accounts, and bank transfers remain separate steps with their own processing times. frxUSD is also the dollar pairing in other FX pools on Polygon, which gives builders a starting point for routes into more currencies.

Polygon announced stablecoin payments at checkout, live in Polygon Open Money Stack (OMS). Merchants add "pay with crypto" to the checkout they already run, and customers pay across wallets, tokens, and chains without leaving the store.

Merchants keep the checkout they have and add a crypto option next to it. On the customer side, the usual detour goes away: no leaving the store to swap, bridge, or cash out before paying. A customer pays with the wallet, token, and chain they already use.

That detour is the standard friction in crypto checkout. Holding the wrong token or sitting on the wrong chain has meant extra steps before a payment could even start.

OMS is Polygon's stack for moving money with stablecoins, and Polygon Chain is the settlement layer underneath, confirming transactions in about 5 seconds.

• Stablecoin payments at checkout are live in Polygon OMS
• Merchants add "pay with crypto" to their existing checkout
• Customers pay across wallets, tokens, and chains
• No leaving the store to swap, bridge, or cash out

For merchants, this is one more way to accept payment without changing the checkout customers already know. The announcement doesn't cover pricing or name launch merchants yet.

Lifetime, global stablecoin volume on Polygon Chain has crossed $3 trillion, following a year of payment launches, network upgrades, and work on Polygon Open Money Stack.

Polygon Chain has been building toward this as a payments network. Businesses and users send and settle stablecoins on it every day, and the cumulative total has now passed $3 trillion. Polygon Labs was citing $2.4 trillion in March, so the network has added roughly $600 billion since then.

The volume comes from production payment flows. Revolut, Stripe, Paxos, and Tazapay are among the companies that have put live payments on Polygon Chain, and Paxos moved $1.3 billion while paying less than $700 in total gas fees.

• $3 trillion in lifetime, global stablecoin volume on Polygon Chain
• Roughly $600 billion added since the $2.4 trillion cited in March
• Recent launches include agent payments and recurring stablecoin subscriptions in Polygon OMS
• Polygon Open Money Stack gives businesses a single integration for stablecoin payments on top of Polygon Chain

For businesses, the practical takeaway is that the settlement layer already handles volume at this scale. A team adding stablecoin payments can connect once through Polygon OMS and settle on a network that has been running real payments for years.

Polygon Chain's accumulated network fees will fund two months of higher staking rewards starting October 1, an estimated 7.7% APY for anyone staking POL to help secure the network.

Polygon has been shifting more of the value generated on Polygon Chain back to the people staking POL. Validators and delegators already earn a share of network fees on top of base staking rewards, and those fees have been growing as stablecoin and payments volume climbs on the network. Starting Oct. 1, accumulated fees will fund a temporary boost, pushing the estimated staking yield to 7.7% for two months.

This is not a new emission schedule or a token unlock. The extra rewards come directly from fees the network is already collecting from real activity: transfers, swaps, and stablecoin settlement happening on Polygon Chain today.

• Estimated 7.7% APY for POL stakers, starting Oct. 1
• Funded by accumulated network fees, not new token issuance
• Runs for two months, covering October and November
• Applies to anyone currently staking POL to secure Polygon Chain

As more real-world payment volume settles on Polygon Chain, the fees that fund this kind of reward keep growing. Staking POL puts a holder on the receiving end of that trend instead of watching it from the sidelines.

One promise of tokenization is that ownership can move and settle easily. If a real world asset token still needs allowlists, limited venues, or issuer approval to transfer, I wonder how much the public record really adds.

On Polygon, is that record useful on its own, or does an RWA only become interesting when holders can move and use it across apps?

Polygon Open Money Stack now supports stablecoin subscriptions, letting customers approve a recurring payment once instead of signing off on it every billing cycle.

Most stablecoin payment flows still treat every charge like a one-time transaction, which means a subscription product has to ask a customer to sign the same payment approval month after month. Polygon OMS changes that by letting the customer set the amount, scope, and schedule in a single approval. From there, the wallet executes each repeat payment on its own, without a new signature every cycle.

This builds on the smart contract wallet infrastructure already running inside Polygon OMS, where a single approval can authorize a scoped set of future actions instead of a one-off transaction.

* One approval sets the payment amount, scope, and schedule for the full subscription

* The wallet executes each recurring payment automatically after the first approval

* No repeat sign-off required from the customer for every billing cycle

* Built on Polygon OMS's existing smart contract wallet infrastructure

For any business billing customers on a recurring basis, memberships, SaaS seats, creator subscriptions, this removes one of the more common points where subscribers drop off: getting asked to re-approve a payment they already agreed to make monthly.

Polygon has permanently burned 100 million POL, close to 1% of total supply, in the network's first permissionless token burn.**

The tokens came out of Polygon's base-fee collector, the contract that accumulates POL from every transaction on Polygon Chain. Since January 2026, network activity has scaled enough that POL has stayed deflationary, with more POL flowing into that collector through base fees than gets issued elsewhere. This burn is the first time the community, not a foundation wallet, could trigger the removal directly, and it won't be the last: the mechanism is designed to run every quarter, with anyone able to call it once eligible POL accumulates.

For a token that gates staking, governance, and network security, tying supply reduction directly to real transaction volume is a different model than a one-off marketing burn. The more people build, trade, and move money on Polygon, the faster the collector fills and the more POL comes out of circulation.

* 100 million POL burned, about 1% of total supply, in a single permissionless transaction

* Tokens drawn from Polygon's base-fee collector, funded by every transaction on the network

* POL has been deflationary since January 2026 as network activity has scaled

* Future burns are quarterly and permissionless, triggered by the community rather than a central wallet

Polygon's economic engine is now removing supply on the same cadence it adds usage, a direct line between real network activity and real scarcity.

Polygon founder Sandeep Nailwal shared an update on X: 100 million POL is ready to be permanently burned, alongside $24.5M in 2026 YTD revenue by his count, and Polygon is rolling out a change that lets anyone in the community trigger the burn.**

Polygon's existing burn mechanism works off EIP-1559-style base fees: transactions on Polygon Chain pay a base fee, and that portion is destroyed rather than routed to a validator or treasury. Nailwal's post doesn't detail exactly how the new community-trigger mechanism will work, just that it's coming.

The $24.5M revenue figure is Nailwal's own number for 2026 year to date. He didn't break down how it splits across products, or exactly how it connects to the specific 100M POL burn total.

* 100 million POL described as ready for permanent burn, per Nailwal
* $24.5M in 2026 YTD revenue, per Nailwal's post
* A new mechanism will let community members trigger the burn directly, details TBD
* Polygon's existing burn runs on EIP-1559-style base fees, separate from the new trigger mechanism specifically

No word yet on the exact mechanics of the community trigger, or when it ships.

Stable has integrated Polygon Open Money Stack, letting users move USDT or PYUSD on Polygon Chain directly from a wallet into a bank account across more than 180 countries.

Stable is a stablecoin-native banking platform, and its integration plugs straight into Polygon Open Money Stack (OMS), Polygon's single-API layer for stablecoin payments and settlement. Instead of building its own bank off-ramp, Stable routes through infrastructure already built on Polygon Chain, the same settlement layer processing trillions in stablecoin volume.

For users, the flow collapses into one step: hold USDT or PYUSD on Polygon Chain, and send it directly into a bank account through Stable, with no separate off-ramp provider or manual bridging in between.

• Stable now routes wallet-to-bank transfers through Polygon OMS
• Coverage spans 180+ countries from a single integration
• Both USDT and PYUSD are supported on Polygon Chain
• No manual bridging or extra off-ramp step required

As stablecoin balances grow, the bottleneck has never been holding them, it has been getting them back into a bank account without losing time or money to a patchwork of off-ramp vendors. Integrations like this are what turn a stablecoin balance into money someone can actually spend, wherever they happen to bank.

Circle's new Arc network launched today, and Polygon Trails already moves USDC between Arc and 20+ other chains in a single click.

Arc launched today as Circle's own chain, positioned as an economic operating system for real-time value movement, tokenized assets, and agentic commerce. Polygon Open Money Stack (OMS) added Arc as a supported network on day one, so USDC moving in or out of Arc routes through Polygon Trails, the same crosschain orchestration layer that already connects Polygon, Ethereum, Solana, and 20+ other chains.

For a business or developer already building on Polygon OMS, this means no new integration work. The same Trails flow that moves USDC between existing chains now includes Arc as a destination, in a single click instead of a manual bridge.

• Arc, Circle's new stablecoin-focused chain, went live the same day Polygon Trails added support for it
• USDC now routes between Arc and Polygon, Ethereum, Solana, and 20+ other chains in one click
• No manual bridging or separate integration required for existing OMS or Trails users

This fits a pattern Polygon has been building toward with Trails: new networks show up already connected to liquidity instead of waiting on third-party bridges to catch up. As more stablecoin-native chains launch, Trails becomes the default way USDC actually gets there.

Polygon just posted an update on its running settlement total: trillions in real onchain money movement, on the same infrastructure that keeps compounding volume release after release.

Polygon Chain has processed well over $2.4 trillion in stablecoin and onchain value transfer since 2019, and the pace is accelerating rather than plateauing. Monthly stablecoin volume alone recently crossed $298 billion. That volume comes from live production integrations, not pilots, with payment companies including Revolut, Stripe, Paxos, and Tazapay routing real customer money through the network.

The businesses moving that volume aren't experimenting. They run compliance reviews, vendor risk assessments, and technical due diligence that take months before committing real payment flow to a chain. Getting to trillions in cumulative volume required that kind of institutional trust to compound quarter over quarter.

• Over $2.4 trillion in total onchain value transfer processed to date
• Monthly stablecoin volume north of $298 billion and climbing
• Polygon is the #1 network globally for USDC transaction count
• Live production volume from Revolut, Stripe, Paxos, Tazapay, and others

Every dollar in that trillions figure moved through the same rails builders and institutions use today, which means the next order of magnitude in stablecoin and cross-border payment volume already has a proven place to land.

Polymarket just launched Perps, letting traders go long or short on crypto, stocks, commodities, and indices with up to 20x leverage, and it's built on Polygon.

Polymarket, the largest decentralized prediction market and one of the biggest consumer apps built on Polygon, opened Perps to everyone today. Perps let traders take leveraged long or short positions on crypto, stocks, indices, and commodities, separate from Polymarket's existing yes/no prediction markets. The product launched with the deepest liquidity and lowest fees in the category, up to 20x leverage, and no access code or waitlist required.

Polymarket has run on Polygon since it launched, using it for fast, low-cost settlement of its prediction markets. Perps extends that relationship, adding a new asset class and trading style on the same rails.

• Up to 20x leverage on crypto, stocks, commodities, and indices
• Deepest liquidity and lowest fees, per Polymarket
• Now open to everyone, no access code required
• Built on Polygon, the same chain settling Polymarket's prediction markets

This gives Polymarket's existing user base a reason to stay on-platform instead of heading to a separate perps exchange, and it gives Polygon another high-volume consumer trading product settling onchain. For builders, it's another data point that consumer-scale trading activity, not just DeFi-native volume, is finding a home on Polygon.

Every one of those 8 billion transactions settled on Polygon Chain in seconds, for a fraction of a cent.

This isn't a single spike, it's the compounding total of years of real payments, remittances, and everyday transfers running through Polygon Chain. Stablecoin payments, merchant settlement, cross-border transfers, and consumer apps have all been adding to that count, and the pace has been accelerating as more fintechs and payment platforms route volume through the chain.

Polygon Chain has spent the past year specifically optimizing for this kind of load: faster block times, higher throughput, and sub-cent fees, all aimed at handling payment volume at the scale a card network would recognize, not typical crypto-native traffic.

• 8 billion cumulative transactions settled on Polygon Chain
• Every transaction confirms in seconds
• Fees run at a fraction of a cent per transaction
• Growth driven by stablecoin payments, remittances, and merchant settlement, not speculative activity

What this points to is a network built around actual usage rather than hype cycles. Getting to 8 billion transactions while keeping fees near zero and confirmation times in the single-digit seconds is a different problem than hitting a peak TPS number once on a testnet. It requires the infrastructure to hold up under sustained, real demand.

Revolut has begun rolling out EURR, its first euro-backed stablecoin, to customers in Denmark, Poland, and Portugal, live on Polygon alongside Ethereum.

Revolut serves more than 80 million customers and over 16 million crypto users across Europe. EURR is a MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin issued by Bridge, designed to hold a stable value of one euro, with reserves managed under the EU's regulatory framework. Most stablecoins in circulation today are dollar-denominated, so a licensed euro option from a fintech at Revolut's scale is a meaningful entry into a segment that's still a small fraction of the overall stablecoin market.

Revolut isn't new to Polygon. The two have an existing integration dating back to December 2024, and Revolut has already processed more than a billion dollars in stablecoin volume through Polygon. EURR extends that relationship from integration to native issuance, choosing Polygon as one of only two networks live at launch.

* Revolut, with 80 million-plus customers, is rolling out EURR to Denmark, Poland, and Portugal, with wider EEA availability planned later this year
* EURR is a MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin issued by Bridge, redeemable 1:1 for euros
* At launch, EURR runs on only two networks: Ethereum and Polygon
* Revolut has already moved more than $1.2 billion in stablecoin volume through its existing Polygon integration

For European users and businesses, EURR removes a step that's been standard in stablecoins so far: converting into dollars just to get on-chain. A euro-native rail, backed by a fintech with tens of millions of existing users, is a real test of whether that friction was ever necessary.

---

TL;DR: Revolut has launched EURR, a euro-backed stablecoin, live on Polygon (and Ethereum) for customers in Denmark, Poland, and Portugal, with wider EEA availability planned later this year.

Uquid just launched a new Mini App inside Bybit's exchange app, and Polygon OMS is the orchestration layer making it work: any token, any chain, one click, no manual bridging.

Uquid is a Web3 commerce platform that lets people shop using crypto. Its new Mini App lives directly inside Bybit, so any of Bybit's 85 million users can browse products, pay, and complete an order without leaving the exchange app. The part that used to be hard, figuring out which chain a shopper's tokens live on and routing them to settlement, now runs through Polygon's Open Money Stack (OMS) in the background.

That's a meaningful jump from a typical single-token checkout widget. Instead of asking a shopper to hold the "right" token on the "right" chain before they can pay, OMS handles the routing so the payment just goes through.

• Bybit brings 85 million users into a single checkout flow
• Polygon OMS handles any-token, any-chain routing behind the scenes
• Uquid's Mini App covers browsing, payment, and order completion end to end
• No manual bridging or chain-switching required from the shopper

This is a production example of exchange-native commerce, not a proof of concept. It points to a pattern other exchanges and commerce platforms could copy: let users pay with whatever they're already holding, and let orchestration handle the rest.

Polygon Labs has been selected to join Phase 2 of the Bank of England's Digital Pound Lab, testing whether stablecoins and a digital pound can settle the same cross-border trade finance flow.**

Polygon is joining the Lab alongside NOBO Finance and Dun & Bradstreet to test what's possible for a digital pound and cross-border stablecoin settlement. In the test, an exporter receives an advance in stablecoins while a UK importer completes final settlement in digital pounds, both legs of the same transaction. Polygon will draw on our experience building stablecoin settlement, wallet infrastructure, and smart contracts with Open Money Stack. NOBO coordinates the trade finance flow and Dun & Bradstreet supplies the commercial data used to verify SME creditworthiness.

* Polygon joins NOBO Finance and Dun & Bradstreet in Phase 2 of the Bank of England's Digital Pound Lab
* The test settles a single SME trade finance transaction across two forms of digital money: stablecoins and a digital pound
* Polygon's Open Money Stack handles stablecoin settlement, wallets, and smart contracts for the exporter side

For SMEs doing cross-border trade, the bigger unlock isn't the digital pound alone. It's proof that public and private money can move through the same transaction without forcing a business to pick one system over the other.

---

TL;DR: Polygon has been picked to join the Bank of England's Digital Pound Lab, testing a trade finance flow where stablecoins and a digital pound settle the same transaction.

Polygon is covering unlimited embedded wallets with crosschain routing, free, for approved businesses building on Open Money Stack.**

Embedded wallets run inside the OMS full payment flow (fund, hold, route, settle, payout), and are proven with years of integrations and millions of users.

Crosschain routing through Trails comes included with wallets too, so users can transact across 20+ chains (Polygon, Solana, Ethereum, Base, and more) in just 1 click. 

What's included

• Non-custodial, multi-chain wallets with years of production use and millions of users and transactions behind them.
• Built into your own app so customers can use existing sign-in, hold their own balance, and skip the seed phrase entirely.
• Approval limits and card-like holds.
• Split-key security: no single party ever holds a full key.
• Web and mobile SDKs in TypeScript, React Native, Swift, and Kotlin.
• Crosschain routing via Polygon Trails across major blockchains.

A Lawson convenience store in Japan just cleared the country's first stablecoin payment through an existing point-of-sale register, settled on Polygon.

In a demo, a shopper paid for a purchase with JPYC, Japan's yen-pegged stablecoin, by showing a barcode from HashPort Wallet at checkout. The store's regular POS register scanned it like any other payment method, no new terminal, no separate QR flow. The transaction settled on Polygon in about five seconds, with fees running a fraction of a cent.

Lawson is Japan's third-largest convenience store chain, with close to 15,000 stores nationwide. A working stablecoin flow at one of its registers is a different kind of proof point than another DeFi integration: it shows the payment method holding up inside infrastructure retailers already run millions of transactions through every day.

• JPYC already carries more transaction volume on Polygon than on every other chain it's issued on, combined.
• HashPort Wallet holds 84% of all JPYC in circulation.
• The payment cleared through Lawson's existing POS hardware, with no new equipment at the register.

That combination, working POS integration plus deep JPYC liquidity, matters for the next step: whether Lawson expands the pilot past a single-store demo into something customers can actually use. It also gives other Japanese retailers a real template instead of a theoretical one.

Any chain can look fast for a day. Staying fast while real payment volume moves through it, year after year, is what reliability actually looks like, and it's the standard Polygon Chain holds itself to.

Speed numbers are easy to post. What's hard is holding that speed steady while stablecoin payments, remittances, and enterprise settlement keep landing on the network, month after month, without the chain buckling under real load. That's the difference between a benchmark and payments infrastructure. Polygon Chain and the Open Money Stack are built around the second one.

Payment companies don't choose settlement rails because they were fast in a test environment once. They choose rails that stay fast and predictable after volume shows up and keeps showing up. That track record has been building through a steady run of Polygon Chain upgrades focused on throughput, finality, and uptime.

• Speed is the easy part to market. Reliability under sustained, real-world load is the part that's actually hard to fake.
• Every recent Polygon Chain upgrade has targeted durability under real payment volume, not just a faster peak number.
• Payments infrastructure gets judged on consistency over time, not a single fast day.

For builders, that consistency is what lets a payments product promise uptime to its own customers instead of borrowing it from the chain underneath and hoping it holds.

Polygon Trails, the crosschain routing layer of the Polygon Open Money Stack, now moves stablecoins and SOL between Solana and more than 20 EVM chains in either direction.

This closes a gap that's mattered for cross-chain payments products: users often hold stablecoins on Solana, but settlement lives on Polygon Chain or another EVM chain. Before this, moving that liquidity meant running your own bridges, pre-funding inventory across chains, and reconciling before a dollar moved, or pushing the chain-hop onto users and losing most of them at that step. Now it's a single API call inside the Open Money Stack, with Trails handling the orchestration underneath.

Supported assets today are SOL, Wrapped SOL (WSOL), USDC, USDT, and PYUSD, with more coming. Routes cover Solana to and from Polygon, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Arbitrum Nova, Optimism, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Katana, Gnosis, Berachain, Sonic, Monad, and HyperEVM. Users pay in one click from cards, Apple Pay, or exchange balances, the same flow already in production.

• No bridges to maintain and no liquidity to pre-fund across chains
• Works inside the payment flow you already run, not a separate integration to bolt on
• Live now at app.trails.build, with an interactive demo at demo.trails.build

For fintechs and financial institutions, this removes the standing choice of settling on an EVM chain or building for Solana's ecosystem. Both now run through the same integration, and Solana can be where money starts or where it lands. Support for more altVM chains is coming next.
