⚡️SANDEEP NAILWAL: “Polygon is becoming the home of agentic payments!”
Predicting billions of autonomous AI agents will drive the next wave of on-chain activity.
This comes as @moonpay rolls out zero-fee stablecoin onramps on @0xPolygon, built specifically for AI agents.
Mastercard's Crypto Partner Program is live, connecting onchain infrastructure to global payments.
Polygon is helping shape that ecosystem, backed by trillions in onchain stablecoin volume and six years of production infrastructure.
For Polygon, this program means bringing our onchain payments infrastructure closer to Mastercard's global network. We're connecting with more enterprises, banks, and merchants, so digital assets work for real people, at global scale.
Proud to join @Mastercard in turning onchain innovation into trusted, everyday payments.
Less than one week ago we shared our vision for the next evolution of Polygon, and for global finance as a whole.
Today, we’re reaching a pivotal milestone for the Polygon Open Money Stack by acquiring @Coinme and @0xsequence.
Polygon’s blockchain rails have been ready for years. But we were missing the last mile pieces required to operate compliant, end-to-end payments at scale.
Regulated fiat access in the U.S. across 48 states, compliant onboarding infra, and seamless crosschain payments through intents.
Bringing Coinme and Sequence into Polygon completes the vertically integrated stack offering.
Truly excited to build alongside @neilbergquist and the Coinme team and @peterk, @_michaelsanders and the Sequence team to move all money onchain.
I told you, you weren’t ready. This is how we win in payments.
The @0xSequence unlock
Sequence makes onchain payments simple and seamless, abstracting blockchain complexities away from the user.
The acquisition brings embedded wallets, with enterprise-grade security, and @TrailsHQ, a 1-click cross-chain orchestration and intents engine that abstracts bridging, swaps, and gas from end users.
Sequence is backed by Brevan Howard Digital, @Initialized, @Coinbase, @polychain, @Consensys, Take-Two Interactive, @Ubisoft, and @BITKRAFTVC, with Sequence and Trails already used across major ecosystems including Polygon, Immutable, Monad, Arbitrum, Magic Eden, Soneium, and more.
The @Coinme unlock
Coinme brings regulated access to U.S. money movement through money-transmitter licenses and a licensed wallet infrastructure, operating in 48 U.S. states and 50,000+ retail locations.
They also bring an enterprise-ready API enabling web2 and web3 companies to offer crypto trading, custody, and on/off ramps.
Coinme is backed by @PanteraCapital, @DCGco, @coinstar, @Circle Ventures and @MoneyGram, serving enterprise customers like Exodus, Coinstar, and Baanx, alongside 1M+ Coinme payments app users.
BREAKING: Polygon to become U.S. regulated payments platform

All vertically integrated in the Polygon Open Money Stack.
Polygon chain is having its S curve moment on the fees generated.
1. Last 3-4 days every day 1mn POL is getting burned in base fees. To put it in perspective, continued for the whole year, 3.5% of POL's total supply will get burned
2. This makes POL massively deflationary
3. 3.6bn POL is staked and stakers and validators earn a combined rewards of ~1.5% of POL
2026 is the year of $POL resurrection
Been working on the design of ARC deposit tokens for a very long time. It has to ensure that:
1. All existing rules and regulations are kept as is when it’s launched.
2. It provides a leg up utility to our Indian CBDC.
3. It solves the real problems.

Got a chance to briefly speak with @SECPaulSAtkins — and I finally get why the U.S. stays the epicentre of global innovation. 🇺🇸
Even as a top regulator, he’s humble, open to ideas from the smallest founders, and obsessed with making public markets exciting again.
His mission? MIGA — Make IPOs Great Again.
What truly makes America great is the strong self-correcting democracy: even though sometimes regimes turn anti-innovation (eg the GG era), the system eventually re-balances toward innovation, progress, markets, and builders. 🚀
