BULLISH 📈 : Polygon Hits $3.50 Billion In Payments As Crypto Activity Expands

Polygon's On-Chain Growth in Q4 2025

  • Polygon ended Q4 2025 with increased on-chain usage driven by payments, stablecoin transfers, and tokenized assets.
  • Despite MATIC's price trading within a narrow range, the network saw significant activity, particularly in payment processing.

Key Developments in Payments

  • According to Messari’s Q4 report, Polygon processed $3.50 billion in payment transfers, a 96% increase from the previous quarter.
  • Stablecoin-linked cards facilitated nearly $363 million in transactions, primarily via Visa and Mastercard.
  • DeCard enabled USDC and USDT payments across various merchants. Flutterwave and Revolut also integrated Polygon for cross-border and app-based payments respectively.

Tokenized Assets and Stablecoins

  • Polygon concluded Q4 with about $1.10 billion in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), ranking ninth globally.
  • The stablecoin supply reached nearly 3 billion, led by USDC and DAI. Latin America highlighted as a key region with $1.18 billion non-USD stablecoin volume.
  • Average daily DEX volume increased by 44% to over $200 million.

MATIC Token Performance

  • MATIC's price remained stable despite broader market weakness, lacking strong upward momentum.
  • On-chain growth did not immediately reflect in price action, highlighting potential long-term value beyond current trading trends.

The increasing use of Polygon in payments and tokenized assets suggests substantial network utility growth, even as MATIC's market movement remains subdued.
