Polygon Labs is extending Open Money Stack, its suite linking bank accounts, crypto wallets and payouts, to the Solana network, following the Tron rollout and the completed acquisition of Coinme. CEO Marc Boiron said customer demand and stablecoin activity drove the move to Solana and, earlier this month, Tron. According to Token Terminal data, Solana recorded about $5.76 trillion in stablecoin transfers from January 1 to October 27, while Tron recorded $6.94 trillion over the same period. The Solana integration lets businesses accept bank, card and cash funding, provide customer accounts and embedded wallets, and arrange payouts, with Kira among the first customers. Polygon's Trails service has supported transfers between Solana and Ethereum-compatible networks since August.

- Polygon sees Coinme acquisition as entry to payments sector dominated by Visa, Stripe
Polygon Labs completed its acquisition of Coinme, a U.S.-regulated crypto payments provider, letting it handle conversions between cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and traditional money. CEO Marc Boiron said the regulated payments business is expected to become profitable in 2027 as Polygon enters a sector dominated by Visa, whose fiscal 2025 payments volume topped $12.3 trillion, and Stripe, which reached $1.9 trillion. The deal lets Polygon keep customer relationships and collect conversion and transfer fees that previously went to intermediaries. Its unified payments platform remains in technical preview with early users such as Tazapay, Mesh, Toku and Kira, and the company still faces competition from incumbents building their own stablecoin services.
- Polygon Extends Its Stablecoin Payments Infrastructure to Solana
Polygon Labs is bringing its Open Money Stack, a bundle of stablecoin payment tools, to Solana for the first time, giving businesses a single connection to fund payments from bank accounts, move crypto across chains and pay out to customers and suppliers. The company says this addresses the complexity of crypto payments, where funding, conversion and bank payouts usually require several separate providers. Solana businesses can connect bank, card, cash and crypto funding routes, create embedded wallets, and route funds across Polygon, Ethereum and Tron. Cross-border payments firm Kira is among the first to adopt the stack on Solana. Per the Solana Foundation, the network has processed more than $5 trillion in stablecoin volume this year, and the expansion extends Polygon's broader payments push, including its acquisition of Coinme.
- Top Blockchains Continue to See Rapid Growth in AI Agent Payments. This Is the 1 Crypto You Need to Buy Right Now.
Chainalysis reported 138.5 million payments on Base using x402, a payment protocol built for AI agents, up from 58,800 transactions as of Q3 2025. Over 87% of x402 transactions were between $0.0001 and $0.10, sizes too small for traditional networks like Visa and Mastercard because of fees and chargeback risk. Solana ranks second in x402 volume, has overtaken Base in daily activity at several points this year, and launched batch settlement, which BlockRunAI says saves more than $20,000 a month in fees. However, TRM Labs counted $52.7 million across 198.9 million settlements since March 2025, with about $25.6 million plausible after removing suspicious activity, so agent payments are not yet driving much economic activity. Solana's stablecoin supply hit a record $17.3 billion in September, and the token trades about 64% below its January 2025 high of $293.
- Better Buy: Solana vs. XRP
The article compares XRP and Solana, two cryptocurrencies running on high-throughput blockchains after a recent rebound. XRP, the fifth-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of nearly $82 billion, is tied to Ripple's activity and its RLUSD stablecoin, and is said to natively scale to 1,500 TPS, though critics question its decentralization. Solana, the seventh-largest with a $61 billion market cap, is described as the fastest major blockchain, surpassing 100,000 TPS in a network stress test, and has over $16 billion in circulating stablecoin supply. The author does not consider either a poor investment, but gives Solana the edge for its greater network activity, higher TPS and stronger stablecoin position.
- JPMorgan Solana Push Brings MONY and JLTXX Into Tokenized Finance
JPMorgan Asset Management is bringing two tokenized money market funds, MONY and JLTXX, to the Solana blockchain, giving qualified U.S. investors access through the Morgan Money platform. MONY, launched in December 2025, is a private placement offering, while JLTXX is a U.S.-registered government money market fund designed to support stablecoin issuers under the GENIUS Act. Both funds initially ran on Ethereum, and the expansion does not make them available to all retail investors. The article says the move strengthens Solana's position in institutional finance, though demand for SOL will depend on how much activity the products generate. With SOL trading around $103, the author's three-month base-case target is $122.58, while a more bullish scenario, in line with Standard Chartered's forecast, puts SOL at $250 by year-end.
- Is Solana Too Cheap to Ignore at Today's Prices?
Crypto prices are recovering after a year-long slump: as of Oct. 16, Bitcoin was up 28% over three months, while Solana gained 40% but remained 65% below its all-time high from last year, trading around $105. The author argues this decline does not reflect Solana's ecosystem growth, as the chain generated more fees than any other network over the past 30 days, its stablecoin supply hit an all-time high of $16.5 billion, and it ranks third in tokenized asset value. Samsung named Solana as a partner for USDC access through Samsung Wallet, and Securitize launched tokenized versions of 12 U.S. megacap stocks on the chain. The author also notes risks, including dependence on crypto sentiment, a 2025 peak driven by meme coin activity, and uncertain adoption, but considers Solana worth a closer look for investors willing to take on risk.

- ServiceNow shares plunge 24% after earnings revive AI disruption fears
ServiceNow shares fell 24% on Thursday, heading for their worst day ever, after third-quarter results revived fears that AI could disrupt traditional software business models. Revenue rose more than 20% to $4.11 billion, roughly in line with the $4.10 billion estimate, while adjusted EPS of $1.00 fell short of the $1.02 forecast. The company slightly lifted its 2026 subscription revenue outlook to between $15.78 billion and $15.79 billion, and net new AI average contract value jumped 65%. Citi's Tyler Radke said investors wanted quicker payoffs from the newly formed forward-deployed engineering team and that the inflection may not come until next year.
- Was Nvidia's Jensen Huang the target of a Chinese spy? A look at NYT's report
According to the New York Times, US intelligence officials have concluded that Alice Wong, a Chinese citizen linked to Singapore-based MegaSpeed, had been an intelligence asset passing information to Beijing, and that she was documented as being very close to Jensen Huang. The report says President Trump was briefed on the relationship about a year ago without taking action, and Huang has not received a defensive briefing. Nvidia told the Times that it would have been informed of any risk and that its customer discussions never covered national security. The hosts raised the question of whether government information could have reached Beijing, given Nvidia's lobbying to sell advanced chips to China and reported efforts to smuggle its chips there.
- Micron Is Down 17% Over the Past Month. Is This AI Stock Still a Buy?
Micron shares are down about 17% over the past month as investors worry about heavy AI infrastructure spending, rising costs and competition from China's CXMT. The author says those concerns are valid but points to recent results from Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon as evidence that AI spending is paying off. In its fiscal fourth quarter ended Sept. 30, Micron reported revenue up 380% to $54.2 billion and non-GAAP earnings of $33.42 per share, and it guided first-quarter 2027 revenue to about $61.5 billion at the midpoint. S&P Global estimates tech companies will spend $1.3 trillion on AI infrastructure next year. The author remains positive on Micron's long-term prospects but expects short-term volatility to persist.
- Alphabet Is Having Its Worst Earnings Day Ever. Here’s What It Means for Your ETFs
Alphabet shares fell about 13% to near $283 after third-quarter results missed expectations, with EPS of $2.12 against a $2.97 consensus and revenue of $127.58 billion versus $127.83 billion expected. Capital spending rose 114% to $51.36 billion, pushing free cash flow to negative $9.07 billion. The article argues ETF holders also feel the drop because Alphabet is a large weight in funds, with Class A and Class C making up 10% and 13% of XLC's net assets in its June 30 filing. It suggests investors check the top-three weights of their funds and the overlap between holdings.
- Musk Says A Tesla-SpaceX Merger Is “A Good Idea,” But Admits It Would Require 1.98 Billion “Yes” Votes. He Calls It “Quite A High Hurdle”
Elon Musk called a Tesla–SpaceX merger “a good idea” but said Tesla would need a vote of 50% of all shares, not just votes cast, which he called “quite a high hurdle.” Based on the 3,952,757,946 shares outstanding in Tesla's 10-Q, the article calculates at least about 1.98 billion yes votes and notes that unvoted shares effectively count against a deal. Retail investors voted only 28% of their shares in the 2025 proxy season, according to Broadridge data cited in Tesla's SEC letter. Both companies have formed special committees of independent directors, but they have not agreed on terms, and no premium or offer has been set. Tesla closed at $407.46 in its latest reported session, while Polymarket traders priced an official merger announcement by Dec. 31, 2026 at 19%.
- The Battle That May Matter Most for Netflix Stock Isn't Against Disney
Netflix had over 325 million paid memberships at the end of 2025, but concerns about subscriber engagement have grown. Although it called engagement “healthy” in its second-quarter 2026 report, it cut the What We Watched report from twice a year to once a year, and its Oct. 20 shareholder letter acknowledged a goal to accelerate view hours growth. The article argues YouTube, not Disney, is now the key competitor for attention: YouTube had over 1.7 billion unique viewers of World Cup-related videos and $11 billion in ad revenue in Q2 2026, versus Netflix's expected $2.7 billion in ad revenue for all of 2026. The bull case is that Netflix is adding live events such as football, boxing and concerts, though these rights require additional spending.
