Polygon ecosystem makes another big move. Recently, it completed the acquisition of Coinme and Sequence, with a total transaction cost exceeding $250 million. It’s clear that this is no small-scale effort—Coinme holds remittance licenses and controls the keys to fiat on-ramps and off-ramps; Sequence, on the other hand, focuses on blockchain infrastructure, which is the foundational framework for ecosystem operation. One company is responsible for connecting traditional finance, while the other strengthens technical infrastructure. Polygon is making deep strategic moves to build out the stablecoin ecosystem. From another perspective, for stablecoins to truly be applied in real-world scenarios, they need both compliant payment channels and solid on-chain infrastructure. This dual acquisition demonstrates that Polygon is serious about competing in the stablecoin track.

$250 million invested, this time Polygon is really serious about stablecoins --- Coinme's remittance license is indeed valuable, but whether it can be truly utilized is another matter --- A dual approach sounds impressive, but the key is whether Sequence can withstand the pressure --- Another acquisition and infrastructure build, this routine feels so familiar --- With the competitive stablecoin race, can $250 million make a splash? --- It's called strategic planning, but actually it's just about lacking funds and seeking interfaces --- Polygon is still spending money to buy infrastructure? Can't the ecosystem build itself? --- Compliance channels + on-chain infrastructure, it sounds like both are indispensable --- Whether it's genuine or just a money-grabbing scheme, you'll know in half a year --- Coinme's remittance license is indeed valuable, but what is Sequence?

With 250 million invested, Polygon is playing a fierce game. Polygon seems to want to master the entire stablecoin ecosystem, combining fiat on-ramps with infrastructure, hitting the core points. Their dual approach of acquisitions isn't gambler's mentality; it's clearly strategic planning. The real key is Coinme's fiat license—without it, everything else is pointless. This scope is deeper than I expected; Polygon is also starting to adopt a systemic strategy. Compliance gateways plus underlying infrastructure—finally, the two legs of stablecoins are in place. 250 million isn't a small figure, indicating that Polygon truly has plans for stablecoins. This move is quite interesting—integrating traditional finance with on-chain infrastructure is definitely a viable approach. It seems Polygon is serious about the stablecoin track.
