Polygon reports over $3 trillion in cumulative stablecoin transfer volume since 2020

Crypto News reports that Polygon's cumulative stablecoin transfer volume passed $3 trillion since September 2020, a figure the outlet attributes to data published by the network's own team rather than to an independent measurement. The report breaks down the total as $933 billion recorded in 2025 against $276 billion in the prior year, with a further $741 billion moving through the network so far in 2026. It says more than half of the historical total was processed after January 2025. Crypto News lists Revolut, Mastercard, PayPal and Cash App among the companies that used the network for payments, and reports activity up 32% year-over-year in 2026. It credits the milestone to a year of infrastructure work: the Ithaca upgrade, a capacity increase to 5,000 transactions per second and the launch of Open Money Stack. A second Crypto News piece, published the following day and marked as syndicated, reports that Polygon added stablecoin payments at checkout in its Open Money Stack platform, letting customers pay across multiple wallets, tokens and chains without swapping or cashing out. Both items come from the same outlet, and no independent confirmation of the volume figures appears in the evidence.
