Apex (managing 3.5T) commits 100B on T-Rex chain that leverages Polygon CDK. Polygon CDK is becoming the defacto stack for institutions. Many more coming in. This is a trailer. Trillions. Literally.

BREAKING: Polygon to become U.S. regulated payments platform We’re acquiring Coinme and Sequence to move all money onchain. → Regulated money movement in 48 states → Fiat on/off ramps → 50,000 fiat-to-crypto locations in the U.S. → Easy onboarding with wallet infra → 1-click crypto transactions across chains All vertically integrated in the Polygon Open Money Stack.


Polygon’s payments strategy is working, and the numbers are starting to show it. Polygon went all in on this early, low fees, high throughput, and a serious focus on global fintech integrations. Every month has been a record breaking month on payments volume since may with November hitting 1.17 Billion. This shows consistent growth and a massive change since last year's November which was 244M More than $10B worth of international stablecoins move through Polygon, one of the highest across any network. That’s real cross-border usage. In November alone, Polygon processed $380M+ in LATAM stablecoin transfers, roughly 90% of the market. The lifetime share of transfer volume in LATAM also continues to rise, now at 69.8% and 3.4 Billion processed. Revolut integrated stablecoin payments, trading, and POL staking, and they’ve already moved $690M+ on Polygon. With 14M+ crypto users across 38 countries, this puts Polygon in a strong position to capture a big chunk of European users. Polygon is also the largest network for micropayments with $84M+ in volume last month, far ahead of Solana’s $43M and has over 33% marketshare and a leader in micropayments. Payments are one of the few crypto use cases actually scaling, and right now most of that growth is happening on Polygon. S/O to @sandeepnailwal @0xAishwary @0xMarcB and the rest of their team for all the great work.


Institutional-grade assets need institutional-grade rails. R25 Protocol has officially launched on Polygon as its first and preferred EVM chain, introducing its rcUSD+ yield-bearing token, backed by a professionally managed portfolio of RWAs. TradFi yield, now flowing into DeFi.
