Revolut Launches Stablecoin Payments Through Polygon Integration
Revolut, the largest neobank in Europe, has strengthened its foothold in the cryptocurrency sector by adopting Polygon’s blockchain to facilitate stablecoin transactions and remittances. This collaboration, which
began in December 2024
, has already handled more than $690 million in transactions by November 2025, representing a major milestone in the mainstream use of blockchain for daily financial activities. Through this integration, Revolut’s 65 million customers in 38 countries can now send, receive, and exchange stablecoins such as
USDC

USDT
with low fees and almost instant transaction speeds

With this partnership, Revolut users are able to utilize Polygon’s network to move stablecoins, make purchases with crypto, trade the platform’s native token

boosted network throughput

Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, highlighted the integration’s importance in connecting traditional finance with decentralized solutions. “
By making blockchain payments seamless for users

more than 153 million transactions
recorded in the past month. Aishwary Gupta, Polygon’s global payments lead, stressed the project’s commitment to regulatory standards, saying, “
We aim to demonstrate to regulators
