**Modern Treasury has integrated with Polygon** to support stablecoin payments through the Open Money Stack, a unified platform designed to simplify global money movement. **Key developments:** - Modern Treasury now supports Polygon Chain as a native payment rail within their API - The integration addresses the complexity of cross-border payments, which typically require 7+ different APIs - The Open Money Stack consolidates payments, stablecoins, wallets, on/off ramps, tokenization, and compliance into one modular system **Why it matters:** Traditional cross-border payment infrastructure is fragmented - while individual APIs work well, combining them creates operational complexity. Polygon's approach offers a single integration point for global money movement with fast settlement and low costs.
