Solana’s Lily Liu Declares „Unblocked” as Polygon Adds Stablecoin Payment Support

Payment Integration on Solana via Polygon

Lily Liu used the phrase „unblocked and unmuted” to describe the relationship between Solana and Polygon after confirming the technical integration with Polygon’s Open Money Stack. The statement followed Solana’s October 29 announcement, which detailed how the platforms connect to offer stable‑coin‑based payment services.

Polygon’s payment service lets businesses collect funds, manage customer balances, transfer assets between networks, and make bank‑account payments—all without leaving the Solana ecosystem. Polygon’s documentation lists accepted funding methods: bank transfers, card payments, cash, and cryptocurrencies. Businesses can convert fiat into Solana digital assets and reconvert them back to fiat when customers request withdrawals.

Supported assets include USDC, USDT, PYUSD, SOL, and wrapped SOL, with routing possible between Solana, TRON, and EVM‑compatible chains. An example from the announcement shows USDC from an Ethereum wallet being delivered as SOL to a Solana user. Customer funds can be stored in custodial or integrated wallets, while virtual accounts identify the recipient of each bank transfer. Polygon notes that integrated Solana wallets use the same API as EVM wallets.

Companies can choose individual services while keeping their existing wallet, compliance, ledger, or liquidation infrastructure. This flexibility is highlighted in the official statement, emphasizing that firms need not maintain bridges or pre‑fund liquidity across multiple networks manually.

A prior crypto.news report identified Kira as one adopter of the integration. Kira, a fintech firm, serves OTC trading desks and import intermediaries that require dollar banking and stable‑coin transfers. Co‑founder and CEO Edrizio De La Cruz said Kira already uses Solana for stable‑coin transfers, and the Polygon link facilitates converting those funds into dollars in clients’ bank accounts when paying suppliers.

Before the recent launch, Polygon Trails had

The report also names former Polygon Labs executive Jamal Raees as Solana’s payments chief, responsible for working with payment companies and enterprises exploring the network for financial transactions. Vibhu Norby, Solana Foundation product head, stated the network processed over $5 trillion in stable‑coin transaction volume in 2026.

Before the recent launch, Polygon Trails had already supported Solana, as announced on August 3. That statement explained that Polygon’s cross‑chain routing service began directing stable coins and SOL between Solana and more than 20 EVM‑compatible chains in both directions. Supported assets at that time were SOL, wrapped SOL, USDC, USDT, and PYUSD.

Available routes included Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, and BNB Chain, among others. Polygon described Trails as the inter‑chain routing component of the Open Money Stack. The August launch noted users could fund transactions via card, Apple Pay, or exchange balances, while firms used a single integration without maintaining bridges or pre‑funding liquidity across chains manually.

The same announcement described the Open Money Stack as a system combining crypto access, exit, wallets, and liquidation, along with cross‑chain routing. Today’s announcement details Solana support throughout the payment flow, including virtual accounts, integrated wallets, and bank payments.

Between the two announcements, Polygon added TRON support on October 8. This integration introduced recurring deposit addresses for USDT, wallet services, and transfers to supported EVM networks. According to the coverage, firms could receive USDT on TRON and deliver USDC on another supported network. Companies could schedule payment instructions and arrange withdrawals via bank accounts, cards, or cash‑pickup services.
