Revolut and Polygon Bridge Traditional and Crypto Finance with $690M Stablecoin Push

Revolut Enters Stablecoin Payments With Polygon Integration

Revolut, Europe's largest neobank, has solidified its position in the crypto space by integrating Polygon's blockchain network to power stablecoin payments and remittances. The partnership, which launched in December 2024, has already processed over $690 million in transactions as of November 2025, marking a significant step in mainstream adoption of blockchain for everyday financial services. The integration allows Revolut's 65 million users across 38 countries to send, receive, and trade stablecoins like USDC and USDT with minimal fees and near-instant settlement times according to financial reports.

Under the collaboration, Revolut users can now leverage Polygon's infrastructure to transfer stablecoins, pay for goods using crypto, trade the network's native token POL, and stake it for yields of up to 4% APY. The platform also supports fiat-to-crypto on-ramps via Revolut Ramp, enabling seamless transitions between traditional and digital assets as reported by Polygon. Polygon's recent Rio upgrade, which enhanced network capacity, further strengthens the partnership's scalability.

Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, emphasized the integration's role in bridging traditional and decentralized finance. "By making blockchain payments invisible to the end user, we're witnessing the future of finance unfold," he stated. The partnership also aligns with Polygon's broader strategy to position itself as a global payments infrastructure, with other major adopters including Stripe, Flutterwave, and Reliance Jio according to industry analysis.

Revolut's move underscores growing institutional confidence in blockchain technology. The fintech giant, which has 14 million crypto users, is expanding its crypto offerings across Europe, including a standalone crypto exchange, Revolut X, now available in all 30 EEA countries as reported by financial news. The integration also aligns with Revolut's regulatory progress, including a recently secured MiCA license in Cyprus, which could pave the way for its own stablecoin launch according to crypto analysts.

The partnership's success is bolstered by Polygon's growing dominance in stablecoin activity. The network now hosts $3.6 billion in stablecoins, with over 153 million transactions processed in the last 30 days. Aishwary Gupta, Polygon's global head of payments, highlighted the project's focus on regulatory compliance, stating, "We want to show lawmakers what's possible when payments are made on the blockchain."

Revolut and Polygon's collaboration is expected to expand further, with plans for cross-border remittances, digital asset management, and deeper integration of Web3 services according to the partnership announcement. As traditional financial institutions increasingly adopt blockchain infrastructure, the partnership signals a shift toward hybrid financial ecosystems that blend speed, cost efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
