Overview
- CEO Marc Boiron says Polygon’s goal is to become a regulated U.S. payments player with stablecoin transactions as the core use case.
- The Sequence acquisition is slated to close later this month, while the Coinme deal is expected to finalize in the second half of 2026.
- Coinme is registered with FinCEN as a money services business and powers more than 6,000 Coinstar kiosks plus barcode cash-to-crypto purchases at roughly 50,000 U.S. retail locations.
- Sequence provides enterprise smart wallets and cross-chain payment routing, complementing Polygon’s new Open Money Stack for developers and businesses.
- Polygon plans to monetize by taking basis points on transactions and on‑ramp fees through Coinme, with an initial focus on B2B deployments and an eventual consumer push that could drive rewards to POL stakers.
