Polygon Dominates Non-USD Stablecoin Market with $3.2B+ Volume
📊 Polygon's stablecoin takeover...
Polygon has captured over 50% of all non-USD stablecoin supply, processing more than $3.2 billion in lifetime foreign exchange transfer volume.
This milestone signals that onchain payments are achieving real product-market fit in developing economies at global scale.
Key regional impact:
- LATAM has processed $1B+ in CEX flows through Polygon this year
- Regional stablecoins like BRLA and BRZ settle on the network
- Apps integrate with real-time payment systems (Pix, SPEI, PSE)
Why Polygon leads in emerging markets:
- Low transaction fees
- Deep liquidity pools
- Extensive ecosystem integrations
- Strong developer support
While Ethereum handles high-value settlements and Tron manages low-cost USDT transfers, Polygon has become the go-to chain for payments, apps, and consumer finance in developing regions.
This growth reflects stablecoins transitioning from speculative assets to everyday money infrastructure, particularly in regions facing inflation and financial exclusion.
In LATAM, stablecoins are becoming the default for saving, sending, and spending due to inflation and financial exclusion. It’s why Polygon is becoming the leading chain in the region, with $1B+ processed in LATAM CEX flows this year.
Polygon supplies more than half of all non-USD stablecoins, with a lifetime FX transfer volume of $3.2B+ A strong indicator onchain payments are finding real product–market fit in developing economies, at global scale.
The takeaway is simple: crypto isn’t speculation in LATAM, it drives daily life Polygon powers the rails, from remittances to savings, stablecoins and onchain payments, with projects like @blindpaylabs, @capa_fi, @usePicnicBR, @lemonapp_ar, @Bitso, Avenia Pay, and PayDece.

Polygon Targets 100k TPS to Challenge Visa's Payment Dominance
**The Speed Gap Problem** Visa processes tens of thousands of transactions per second, while most blockchains struggle to handle 100 TPS. This massive performance gap remains a key barrier to mainstream web3 adoption. **Polygon's Ambitious Roadmap** Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal outlined the network's plan to achieve **100,000 transactions per second** - directly challenging traditional payment rails like Visa. **Why Speed Matters Now** - Real-world adoption requires infrastructure that matches legacy systems - Current blockchain limitations prevent mass market use cases - Payment processing speed is no longer optional for web3 success This follows Solana's recent achievement of briefly reaching over 100,000 TPS, showing the industry's push toward payment-grade performance.
