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.

- Polygon gains US payments licenses after closing Coinme deal
Polygon Labs has completed its acquisition of Coinme, giving its stablecoin payments platform a regulated route to convert dollars into digital assets and back across 48 US states. Polygon says its US payments business now holds 37 money transmitter licenses and 11 exemptions, and is registered with FinCEN as a money services business. The deal follows agreements announced in January to buy Coinme and wallet infrastructure provider Sequence for more than $250 million combined, alongside some role consolidation at Polygon Labs. At the time of the announcement, Coinme, a licensed crypto exchange, had more than one million users and a retail network of 50,000 locations.
- Polygon expands Open Money Stack to Solana, after Tron rollout
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.
- 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.

- European Central Bank keeps key interest rate on hold at 2.5%
The European Central Bank held its deposit facility rate at 2.5% on Thursday, as expected, after a 25 basis point hike in September, even though euro zone headline inflation rose to 3.8% last month, the highest since September 2023. The Governing Council said rising energy prices pose upside risks to inflation and downside risks to growth, while underlying inflation and wages are broadly stable and financing conditions have tightened. Energy price inflation reached 18.8% amid Middle East turbulence. Deutsche Bank's Mark Wall said the policy path is harder to predict and expected one more hike to 2.75% in December, probably the end of the hiking cycle, while Christine Lagarde is still president. He added that the institution is bigger than any one person, but uncertainty remains about decisions next year after Lagarde's announced departure.

Fortinet's weak results hit cybersecurity stocks, and ServiceNow showed slowing bookings growth. A Bloomberg report said Marvell is in talks to buy Lumentum in a big deal, and Marvell shares fell sharply. The hosts said concerns over AI spending, financing costs, and Alphabet's business model are real, not just sentiment.
- Private, fast USDT is coming to Bitcoin. Can it compete with Ethereum and Tron?
Utexo, a Dubai-based blockchain startup, plans to bring Tether's USDT back to Bitcoin after a three-year hiatus through the RGB protocol, which keeps transaction data off-chain. The public launch is scheduled for Nov. 28, with Lightning Network support planned for Q1 2027. USDT first ran on Bitcoin in 2014 through the Omni protocol, but Tether halted issuance in August 2023 citing declining usage, and later led Utexo's $7.5 million seed round in March. With $300 billion of stablecoin supply already on networks such as Ethereum and Tron, co-founder Viktor Ihnatiuk says the Bitcoin version's advantages are speed and privacy. Utexo Mint locks USDT0 on Arbitrum before minting an equivalent amount of USDT on Bitcoin, so its security also depends on the mechanisms connecting the two networks.
- Brazil’s Halloween eve crypto deadline brings more tricks than treats
Brazil's crypto exchanges face a Friday deadline to apply for authorization under the framework introduced in November 2025 under the central bank BCB. Exchanges that apply on time can keep operating while their applications are reviewed, a process that can take up to two years, while companies that miss the deadline must stop providing services within 30 days. Lawyers say minimum capital requirements of 10.8 million reais ($2 million) to 37.2 million reais, plus audits and anti-money laundering controls, could make compliance unviable for smaller exchanges. Questions remain over how to identify self-custody wallets, the $100,000 limit on certain international transfers and reporting thresholds, and the BCB had not responded at publication.
- DoorDash inks $17 billion deal to acquire Instacart
