$POL polygon processed 493m stablecoin transactions in february. more than
solana, base, arbitrum, and ethereum combined. 30% of all onchain stablecoin
volume globally. burning 28.2m POL that month, monthly ATH. market is
pricing POL like polymarket IS the chain. strip out polymarket's 55%
transaction share and you still have 220m+ monthly transactions from pure
payments. stripe, revolut ($111m monthly volume), mastercard all settling on
polygon. 3.7m active USDC addresses. $3.3b stablecoin supply vs base's $5b.
but polygon moves 6x more USDC transaction volume than any other chain.
