Revolut Accelerates Stablecoin Payments with Major Polygon Expansion

Revolut is significantly advancing its foray into digital-asset payments by expanding its partnership with Polygon Labs.

The European fintech giant, which serves over 65 million users, will now allow customers in the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA) to send and receive remittances using the two largest stablecoins, USDC and USDT, along with Polygon's native token, POL. These transactions will settle directly on the Polygon blockchain via the Revolut app.

Key Highlights of the Integration:

• First-Time Stablecoin Transfers: This marks the first time that USDC and USDT are fully usable within the Revolut app on the Polygon network, allowing users to send and receive them for cross-border payments.
• Driving Demand: Revolut initially enabled stablecoin transfers on Polygon in December 2024 and has since processed over $690 million worth of Polygon-based transactions, demonstrating strong customer demand for faster and cheaper cross-border transfers.
• Seamless User Experience: The integration abstracts away the complexity of blockchain, offering users near-instant settlement times and minimal gas fees.

Polygon Solidifies Financial Infrastructure Role

This move reinforces Polygon’s position as a core layer for global financial services, joining a growing list of major institutions like Stripe, Flutterwave, DeCard by DCS, and Reliance Jio that have adopted the network for payments and money movement.

Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron emphasized that the integration aligns with their vision of making blockchain payments "seamless and invisible" to the end-user, blending superior speed and cost efficiency into everyday financial experiences.

Regulatory Nuance in Rollout

Revolut noted that the new remittance feature is specifically focused on non-EU countries within the EEA. This cautious geographic rollout is designed to manage the European Union's evolving regulatory stance on stablecoin providers, particularly Tether's USDT, under the new digital asset rules, ensuring compliance while expanding capabilities where regulatory conditions are clearer.

The expansion is viewed as a major step toward mainstream stablecoin remittances, validating Polygon's infrastructure as a backbone for global financial applications.
