Polygon Extends Its Stablecoin Payments Infrastructure to Solana

In brief

• Polygon Labs expanded its Open Money Stack—a bundle of stablecoin payments tools—to Solana.
• The platform aims to collapse the multi-provider complexity of crypto payments into one connection.
• The move rides Solana’s payments momentum and extends Polygon’s push, including its Coinme acquisition.

Polygon Labs is extending its stablecoin payments infrastructure to Solana, giving businesses on the rival network a single connection to pull money in from bank accounts, move crypto across chains, and pay out to customers and suppliers worldwide.

The company said the expansion brings its Open Money Stack, a bundle of payments tools, to Solana for the first time.

The pitch addresses a persistent headache in crypto payments: sending the tokens is the easy part, but getting money from a bank account into a wallet, converting it and landing it back in a recipient’s bank account typically requires stitching together several providers, each with its own integration and contract.

Open Money Stack collapses that into one technical connection and one commercial relationship, with businesses free to adopt the whole thing or mix individual pieces into their existing systems.

Through the platform, a Solana business can connect bank, card, cash, and crypto funding routes, spin up embedded wallets, route and convert funds across networks including Polygon, Ethereum and Tron, and deliver payouts into banks, cards, or wallets. A remittance provider, for instance, could take dollars from a sender, deliver USDC on Solana, and connect the recipient to a bank payout.
