Stablecoins are all about access and inclusion.
Here’s my take on why this all matters and what I'm looking forward to in 2026👇

@0xPolygon we have an incredible year ahead of us! Let's make history.

BIG UPDATE: 100M POL ready to be permanently BURNED.
Polygon is printing revenue. $24.5m YTD. We are deploying a change that lets anyone in the community trigger its burn.
2026YTD Revenue
Super happy about $NEAR and $ARB getting much deserved love, but in terms of revenue, my analyst at ChatGPT says:
ethereum:0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 : 24.5mn
$ARB : $8.41m (Includes the trailblazing Robinhood chain)
$NEAR : $5.6m (Includes the now legendary Near Intents)
ethereum:0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 is 3x revenue of $ARB, 5x of $NEAR.
I hope the market gods will shower their smiles on ethereum:0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 community too someday.
BTW huge kudos and love to both @NEARProtocol and @arbitrum teams and communities (Forgive me for this bad cope on ethereum:0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 missing out of the rally till now 😥😥)
Anyways, the contracts are on testnet, after the final Security Council signatures, they go to mainnet.
Then anyone can trigger the first burn, permanently burning the 100M POL instantly. Post that every quarter, anyone from the community would be able to burn ethereum:0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 from the supply
Since January 2026, POL has been deflationary and the network is still getting hammered with activity…payments, trades, consumer apps, everything. We have scaled 10x to 5k TPS and multiple earth shattering updates are coming on the TPS front.
Every base fee adds POL to the collector. it has reached 121M POL. It's your time to burn 100M! 🔥

Every payment rail thats scaled did it through a shared data standard. ACH transaction codes. SWIFT messages. MCCs.
Onchain payments are next. Wrote about what that layer can look like here:
blockchainpaymentsconsortium…
Banks won't route production stablecoin payments until they can answer six questions about every transaction: what type, who's involved, which jurisdictions, what risk profile, can it reconcile. Today, a stablecoin transfer answers almost none of them.

This is what blockchain technology was built for.
Dollar access. Expanding a system that has worked for a few markets, to all markets.
Why Polygon and Solana? Global distro, utility. Solve the last mile - you need to be able to turn a stablecoin into local currency seamlessly.
The future of marketplace commerce is on Polygon.
@Meta launched stablecoin payouts for creators on the Polygon Chain.
Live in Colombia and the Philippines, with 160+ markets coming, users now get faster settlement with USDC while gaining access to dollar denominated assets.

Amazing to see Polygon added to Visa's stablecoin settlement program today.
A natural step as stablecoins move into mainstream payment flows.
Soon the blockchain disappears - you won't know it's a stablecoin, you'll just know your money moved and settled instantly.
We're just getting started.
The world's largest payment network settles stablecoins on Polygon.
Now supported on its global stablecoin settlement program, Visa's partners can choose Polygon rails to move money instantly.

Polygon has been the settlement layer. Now we’re becoming vertically integrated blockchain payments infra.
One API for fintechs, banks, enterprises to add fiat on/off-ramps, wallets, 1-click cross-chain transactions.
Goal: make onchain payments simple & move all money onchain.
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.

Mastercard is launching its Crypto Credential exclusively on Polygon this - enabling verified, permissioned, Travel-Rule-ready wallet-to-wallet payments onchain.
Users can send to simple identity aliases instead of hex addresses, with credential issuance + validation secured directly on Polygon.
This is Mastercard’s first onchain identity + compliance implementation, proving Polygon is the #1 compliance-ready chain for enterprise payments — built for fintechs and PSPs navigating TFR and global regs.
Big news:
@Mastercard chooses Polygon to launch username-based transfers for self-custody wallets, with @mercuryo_io.

Very very proud to be partnering with @theflutterwave, the #1 payment service provider in Africa.
Enterprises across the region are now using stablecoins for treasury management efficiencies, including Uber. Through this collaboration, Flutterwave and @0xPolygon will help scale these flows to mainstream adoption.
This partnership will make it easier for users and businesses across Africa to access USD-denominated stablecoins, driving greater efficiency and financial inclusion.
Exciting times ahead!

Fresh off the thrill of @money2020, we’re teaming up with @0xPolygon to make cross-border payments faster, cheaper & more accessible than ever!
With Polygon Proof of Stake (PoS) powering our new solution, businesses and individuals will soon be able to move money across borders in seconds, not days.
This is a bold step toward a truly borderless financial world.
We will begin a phased release of this solution with some selected enterprise customers in 2025 and later extending to other businesses and individuals in 2026.
Stablecoins aren’t the future, they’re the now, and we’re making them accessible.

The future of finance is being built on @0xPolygon
The @Visa x @AlliumLabs report just dropped.
Polygon leads all chains in stablecoin lending this year, with $192 B+ in volume.
That's more than Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base and Solana.
The numbers speak for themselves.
