The initiative combines blockchain rails, wallet infrastructure, compliance tools, and earning mechanisms into a single framework to make transfers seamless and interoperable across borders, chains, and apps.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Coinme and Sequence Add Regulated Rails and Wallet Infrastructure to Polygon<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span>Polygon said the combined price for Coinme and Sequence topped $250 million, though it hasn\u2019t disclosed what it paid for each acquisition. Polygon CEO Marc Boiron noted that the near-term focus is business-to-business payments, with plans to expand to consumer services later, and that the company expects to work with existing payment networks through partnerships.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/deciphering-polygon-a-deep-dive-into-the-multifaceted-world-of-matic\/\"><span>Polygon<\/span><\/a><span> said Coinme will contribute U.S.-licensed fiat on- and off-ramps, including money-transmitter coverage and a licensed wallet infrastructure. The company also pointed to Coinme\u2019s existing user base and enterprise APIs as components that can help banks, fintech firms, and merchants connect stablecoin flows to traditional payment routes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Sequence, which started as a gaming-focused startup before expanding into developer tooling, will be used to simplify onboarding and execution for on-chain payments. The firm said Sequence\u2019s smart wallet infrastructure and \u201c1-click\u201d cross-chain transaction capabilities are intended to reduce the need for end users to manage bridges or multiple steps when moving value across networks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Moreover, the Open Money Stack is designed to combine fiat entry and exit, wallet creation, and cross-chain routing in a single product set for regulated <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/understanding-stablecoins-the-backbone-of-digital-finance\/\"><span>stablecoin<\/span><\/a><span> payments. The company described the objective as enabling instant money movement for businesses and consumers while keeping compliance requirements embedded in the stack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Polygon has positioned stablecoin payments as a core use case as more firms explore dollar-pegged tokens for settlement and payouts. The project views the acquisitions as a way to bring key pieces of payments infrastructure in-house at a time when stablecoin transaction tooling remains spread across multiple vendors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All news is rigorously fact-checked and reviewed by leading blockchain experts and seasoned industry insiders.
