Polygon’s Payment Data Suggests the Future of Blockchain Payments May Not Revolve Around Consumers Swiping Crypto Cards - Tekedia

Polygon PoS payment apps processed $5.80B in transfers across 50+ apps, up 51.4% quarter over quarter.

Growth was driven by stablecoins, cross-border remittances, and business payments rather than consumer spending.

By contrast, crypto card transaction volume fell 47.9% to $143.4M.

The split suggests blockchain payments are scaling through real-world settlement rails, not card-linked consumer use.
