Everyone watches stablecoin supply. That's the wrong number.
Since 2024, supply doubled. Usage grew 317%.
Money that sits is a store of value. Money that moves is money.
Stablecoins just crossed that line.
New piece, built on @AlliumLabs 's data.

@MohapatraHemant we need of more such clear, this is what we exactly need, JD's. 🫡

@0xPolygon @0xMarcB @NYSE Every phase there is a capability milestone. Global money movement is gated by permission, not capability, and the winner is whoever a risk committee will sign.

@innercircle_so would love to join. is it only for folks based in Banglore?

@defyneric thats wild that someone can be so rude mid interview.
Congrats to you for not doubting yourself 👏

Built for one thing is the right position, because a neutral rail is the only layer that can serve the networks and issuers competing above it. The catch is the flip side: neutral infrastructure gets taken for granted and captures little of what it moves. It stays defensible only if the rail becomes inseparable from the compliance and liquidity above it, because neutral and replaceable are otherwise the same word.

@strato_money Revenue ranks the cards. Valuation ranks who controls the settlement underneath, because a card is interchangeable and the multiple accrues to whoever owns the issuing and the rails.

Stripe paid $1.1B for Bridge.
Mastercard is paying $1.8B for BVNK.
Neither bought an app. They bought the layer that moves the money.

@sytaylor also...the "mistake" I think you are referring to: The mistake is your headline. You say deposits stay still, then below in the table you give them intraday liquidity and instant movement between branches.

[Anch @anchm03]

The soft spot is the safety net row. Deposit insurance caps near 250k, so the corporate treasury balances you call deposits best for are almost all uninsured, as SVB depositors found out live. And a fractional deposit is an unsecured claim on the bank while a fully reserved stablecoin is a claim on T-bills, so on pure backing the stablecoin is often the safer asset.

@sandeepnailwal Most of CT is still pricing Polygon as a chain. The payment win was never the chain. It is owning the layer everything routes through: onramp, settle, offramp, one API the networks and issuers all sit on top of.

[Anch @anchm03]

@sytaylor @Adyen The translator routes mostly to card rails though, Agent Pay and Visa tokens. Agents transacting at machine scale will grind on cost per call, and that is where card economics break. Translation is step one. The settlement rail it points to is the real fight.

[Anch @anchm03]

@sandeepnailwal @0xPolygon Yes, and the reorg always starts at the settlement layer. Once moving money is free, the value stops being the transfer and moves to everything you build on top of it.

[Anch @anchm03]

@strato_money @ready_co Agree on the risk. The one place I'd push: there is no "self-custodial card." Cards are permissioned rails by definition. The real fix isn't owning the rails, it's routing spend around them so settlement happens onchain at the point of sale.

[Anch @anchm03]

The biggest banks spent a decade building their own private blockchains.
Most of those projects are now quietly winding down.
Yet the same banks are moving real money onto public chains.
A new @0xPolygon whitepaper explains the shift. Here is my read.

@DianaChimes congratulations to the team!

Agents need payment rails that run at machine speed.

We're excited to join @Mastercard’s Agent Pay for Machines, to help establish common rules for agent-to-agent use cases and accelerate the adoption of agentic commerce, with always-on settlement powered by Polygon.
