Polygon Adds TRON Support to Open Money Stack for Stablecoin Payments
Key Takeaways
- •Polygon Labs announced on Oct. 7, 2026 that TRON is now live on its Open Money Stack, enabling businesses to connect USDT flows, bank rails, virtual accounts, and cross-chain settlement through one integration.
- •TRON hosts more than $94 billion in circulating USDT and has recorded over $30 trillion in overall transfer volume, according to figures cited by Polygon.
- •The Open Money Stack consolidates fiat on-ramps, virtual accounts, wallets, on-chain deposits, cross-chain routing, and payouts, allowing businesses to operate across both TRON and EVM-based networks with a single setup.
- •TRON uses its own virtual machine instead of the Ethereum Virtual Machine, a technical divide that has kept the two stablecoin ecosystems distinct until now.
- •Polygon CEO Sandeep Nailwal said the network recorded higher stablecoin transaction volume than Ethereum L1 over the previous seven days and was the most active chain compared with Base and Arbitrum, based on wallet-to-wallet transfers excluding DeFi contract activity.

Polygon Labs has added TRON support to its Open Money Stack, a platform that lets businesses move, program, and store stablecoins across blockchain networks and traditional banking rails. The integration gives fintechs and payment companies direct access to TRON's extensive USDT ecosystem, connecting businesses with USDT flows, bank rails, virtual accounts, and cross-chain settlement through a single connection.
Polygon Connects Businesses to TRON's $94B USDT Economy
Polygon Labs reports that more than $94 billion worth of USDT — the dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by Tether — is currently in circulation on TRON, and the network has recorded over $30 trillion in overall transfer volume. Polygon announced the integration through its official X account on Oct. 7, 2026:

TRON remains one of the major networks for transferring digital dollars around the world. Its USDT users rely on the chain for retail transactions, savings, and cross-border transfers. Businesses entering this space, however, often face complicated infrastructure requirements. Depending on their operations, they may need licenses, partner banks, wallets, and cross-chain routing systems.
Polygon's Open Money Stack consolidates these requirements — fiat on-ramps, virtual accounts, wallets, on-chain deposits, cross-chain routing, and payouts — into a single integration, streamlining how companies connect traditional banking systems with blockchain networks. Dollars can enter the platform through regulated on-ramps, via bank transfer, debit card, or cash at retail outlets. Funds can then be moved into virtual accounts holding real money, and businesses can deposit those funds on-chain in accordance with their own rules. The integration also enables transfers between supported blockchain networks and payouts through supported financial channels, meaning one setup can control multiple aspects of a company's money flow.
TRON has long been significant for USDT trading across markets worldwide, and digital dollar transfers and daily financial activity frequently run through the network. Unlike Polygon and most EVM-compatible chains, TRON runs on its own virtual machine rather than the Ethereum Virtual Machine, meaning tooling built for one environment does not run directly on the other — a divide that has kept the two stablecoin ecosystems technically distinct. With TRON support in place, businesses can operate on both TRON and EVM-based networks, giving them a wider reach to customers across different blockchain ecosystems. That includes companies that already serve TRON-based USDT customers and can now connect those users to broader payment infrastructure.
Polygon also stated that it has facilitated over $3 trillion in cumulative transaction volume, a figure it cited as of Sept. 21.
Polygon Highlights Strong Stablecoin Transaction Activity
The update follows a recent surge in stablecoin activity on Polygon's own network, which the company highlighted through its official X account. In a post on X, Sandeep Nailwal, CEO of Polygon, said the network recorded higher transaction volume for stablecoins than Ethereum L1 over the previous seven days, and was the most active chain compared with Base and Arbitrum.
The company identified these as wallet-to-wallet stablecoin transactions, noting that the comparison did not include contract activity such as decentralized finance transactions. The distinction separates direct transfers between user wallets — the core movement of digital dollars in payments — from activity routed through smart contracts on lending, trading, and other decentralized finance applications.
The figures underscore Polygon's increasing prominence in stablecoin-to-stablecoin transactions, while the TRON support brings another significant USDT ecosystem into its infrastructure. The expansion arrives as businesses show growing interest in using stablecoins to facilitate financial transactions across the globe. Stablecoins offer a digital version of traditional currencies on blockchain networks, a property that has made access to key stablecoin networks more crucial for payment providers.
Polygon's latest move expands the range of networks available on the Open Money Stack and could enable businesses to operate across multiple blockchain environments — from regulated bank on-ramps to on-chain settlement — through a single integration. For payment providers, coverage across both the TRON and EVM ecosystems shapes how much of the world's digital-dollar activity one setup can reach.
