Polygon anticipates a stablecoin supercycle and projects that up to 100,000 issuers could emerge over the next five years. The estimate stems from a structural shift: more companies are moving payments and treasury operations to onchain infrastructure due to lower costs and instant settlement.
Aishwary Gupta, Polygon’s global head of payments and RWAs, explained that deposit tokenization gives banks a way to retain balances while offering programmable transfers. He described models where deposits remain under bank custody while being used onchain for payments or automated settlement. This setup accelerates market expansion but also creates fragmentation across issuers and networks. To address this, Polygon promotes neutral settlement layers that enable payments across different stablecoins without user friction.
Recent reports from Standard Chartered show rising corporate use of stablecoins for cross-border payments. The sector is closely tracking new projects, onchain volume growth, and upcoming regulatory frameworks that will determine whether Polygon’s projection materializes.
