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.

Renting part is the obvious half. Proprietary payments infra was never the differentiator for most of these fintech/neobank apps - UX and distribution are. Even fintechs launching their own chain or stable to service their ecosystem still need interop with chains that already have distro and liquid stables (USDC/T) for real scalable utility, on/off.

The more interesting question is who they rent from. MoonPay’s answer is 6 acquisitions to assemble one stack. That’s the same bet we’re making at Polygon.

Rent vs. build was decided a while ago - even the ones who build still end up reliant on PSPs whose core business is payments for real usability. The real race is which one-stop shop the next generation of fintechs standardizes on for onchain money movement

The single-stack stablecoin PSP. The future of payments runs on Polygon.

Polygon Open Money Stack is now in technical preview.

A first look at how your business can move money with stablecoins in one easy platform 🧵

@0xPolygon @CashApp So bullish

[Sam @Sam_H_F]

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:

[Blockchain Payments Consortium @bpconsortium]

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.

[Sam @Sam_H_F]

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.

[Polygon | POL @0xPolygon]

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.

[Sam @Sam_H_F]

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.

[Polygon | POL @0xPolygon]

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.

Had a great time speaking on behalf of @0xPolygon yesterday at The Stablecoin Trust Forum 2026. Thank you @Mastercard @MerkleScience @wirexapp @notabene_id for hosting!

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.

[Polygon | POL @0xPolygon]

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.

[Sam @Sam_H_F]

Money is getting an upgrade.

This isn’t about incremental change -
it’s about rethinking how money moves, settles, and serves global users at the speed of information.

The future of money is open.
The future of money is onchain.
And it’s being built now.

Just getting started.

@0xPolygon payments P0: ensure the largest distribution networks for payments are building on Polygon as they move onchain.

We already work with many of the world’s leading PSPs, today excited to announce @Shift4, one of the true pioneers in scaling stablecoin adoption.

[Polygon | POL @0xPolygon]

Polygon is building the rails for global payments.

One of the world’s largest independent payment processors, Shift4, has launched stablecoin settlement on Polygon.

Hundreds of thousands of merchants worldwide can now get paid faster and move funds 24/7 on rails built for speed, reliability, and scale.
