Polygon Tops Stablecoin Transfers with $79.25 Billion in May

Polygon has emerged as a leader in stablecoin transfer volume, processing $79.25 billion in May and surpassing both Solana and BNB Chain.

The network achieved nearly 198 million transactions in the month, averaging roughly 6.4 million per day, which puts significant pressure on the idea that Polygon is a second-tier chain.

This milestone is notable because it tracks real money moving through the network, including payments, settlements, remittances, DeFi activity, and on-chain commerce.

The stablecoin volume is considered sticky, tied to real-world workflows and integrations, unlike speculative token trading which can spike and collapse quickly.
