The @MrBeast Financial trademark application mentions that the service may include a crypto exchange and crypto payment processing 👀
However, at the time of application, none of the relevant regulatory authorities had registered MrBeast Financial as a financial or crypto enterprise.
A genuine crypto platform requires, for example, registration as a Money Services Business, money transfer licenses, or permission from financial regulators.

stablecoins payments are already shaping a new model for cross-border settlements.
instead of slow bank transfers, funds are instantly converted into stablecoins, converted into local currency, and paid out almost instantly.
this provides fast 24/7 settlement, low cost, global accessibility, and programmability.
however, this creates new challenges such as regulation and dependence on on/off ramps.
at the same time, banks are not disappearing, but are shifting to roles in liquidity, compliance, treasury, and fx, while stablecoin networks are becoming the new settlement infrastructure.

Thank you for sharing @mewwts, it's very much appreciated. Polygon is gaining momentum in the payments sector, and the first $1B is just the beginning.
@0xPolygon is increasingly being used for real-world retail payments: local stablecoins ( $XSGD, $BRZ, $JPYC) exceeded $10B in total volume, and payment apps processed over $1B in November.
Particularly noteworthy are over 500k small transactions worth $10–100, which indicates growth in everyday consumer use, not just DeFi or large B2B transfers.

Polygon Payments in trends news 🫡
Over 1,000 post ... awesome 🫢

1.3M transfers were processed by payment projects on @0xPolygon in November.
The majority of these are micro and small transactions, accounting for 1M transactions (*these are transactions between $1 and $100).
These include card payments, B2B transfers, payrolls, on and offramps, and other types of payments.

I changed my profile photo and lost my verification. I'm alive, by the way (*fought with seagulls for food 🤣).
In the meantime, here's a photo from Lisbon 🇵🇹

🧐 in emerging markets, the '$$$' is often chosen as a less risky alternative to local currencies, which are prone to even greater volatility.
stablecoins, on the other hand, offer stability pegged to fiat assets, but without the traditional constraints of the banking system.
and yes, Polygon not only “understands” this problem but is building a real infrastructure where stablecoins become an evolutionary step away from fiat.
instead of just keeping ‘$$$’ under the mattress, people in emerging markets can use stablecoins for payments, savings, and investments with minimal barriers and super f

The number of unique peer-to-peer stablecoins addresses on @0xPolygon grew by 149% in 2025.
For the whole of 2024, the number of such addresses reached 8.1M, and in 2025, in just 11 months, it exceeded 20M.
In 2025, @0xPolygonEco took some big steps to grow its payment ecosystem, doing a bunch of key collabs with fintech giants like @Mastercard, @Visa, and @Revolut. There's also been an increase in the number of projects using Polygon as a payment rail.
Therefore, I am not surprised by this growth in p2p transactions.

I came across some excellent analytics from @artemis: Adjusted Stablecoin Volume vs Other Financial Systems
Interestingly, in 2021, stablecoins caught up with @Visa in terms of volume for the first time. And only in March 2024 did they manage to surpass them (stablecoins - $1.4T, Visa - $1.3T) and showed a significant lead over Visa for 4 months. But in July, they let them pass again.
The next significant jump was in November 2024, when the gap between stablecoins and Visa was $500B (*currently, the gap is $2.5T).
What's next?
Only ACH is ahead, and the gap is $3.7T, but if the current growt
