Polygon's stablecoin ambitions are scaling fast.
The network says its Open Money Stack can now process up to 5,000 payments per second.
The milestone comes as @0xPolygon processed $79B stablecoin volume in May & reached $3.7B in stablecoin supply. 💸👇 https://t.co/ufWCU3FBrI
MILESTONE: 5,000 payments per second on Polygon.
→ Support for 5,000 payments per second
→ Block times down to 1.5 seconds

With Polygon Open Money Stack, every customer gets a dedicated virtual account number.
Incoming fiat settles straight to stablecoins, automatically, reconciled to the customer who owns the account. No need to build your own banking infrastructure.

Most payment stacks weren't built for real-time finality, weekend payouts, or sub-cent settlement. But the fix isn't a rebuild.
We put together a guide on the four-layer model for adding stablecoin settlement to the stack you already run.

Every payment needs a wallet signature.
Fine for a one-off purchase. For subscriptions, payouts, and checkouts, every additional prompt loses customers.
Smart sessions fix that with one approval.

Stablecoins solved speed & cost.
But confidentiality is still the missing piece for institutional adoption.
Private, auditable payments open the door to payroll, merchant settlement, treasury, and regulated transfers.

Today, Mastercard is announcing plans to expand settlement capabilities to include stablecoin, intraday, holiday, and weekend options, giving partners more choice in how and when transactions are settled. That means we’re:
✅ Enabling greater choice to settle in fiat or regulated stablecoins
✅ Improving liquidity management for time sensitive, cross border flows
We’re supporting settlement with @Circle’s USDC, @Paxos-issued stablecoins including USDG,USDP and @PayPal’s PYUSD, @Ripple’s RLUSD and @SoFi’s SoFiUSD across a range of supported blockchain networks including Arbitrum, @Coinbase’s Base, @CantonNetwork’s Canton, Ethereum, @0xPolygon, @Solana, @Tempo and XRPL. ARQ Finance, CBW Bank, @crossriverbank, @Lead_Bank and @Nuvei will be among the first to support.
The world's currencies are moving onchain.
