November 29, 2025 Polygon has unlocked its most important milestone yet. The network confirmed over one billion dollars in monthly payment app volume for November 2025, marking its strongest month since inception. Beyond DeFi activity or speculative trading, this metric highlights genuine economic throughput driven by millions of day-to-day users.
Polygon’s core thesis has always been simple: fast, cheap, and secure transactions that onboard the real world to Web3. With this new high, that vision is becoming a reality at scale.
Payment app volume tracks the total value processed by consumer-facing applications that focus on payments, transfers, and everyday spending. It excludes speculative activity like swaps, NFTs, and bot-driven transactions.
Examples of apps included:
This category is considered a more reliable measure of real-world blockchain utility. When someone is paying for goods, sending remittances, or transferring value to a friend, it captures true adoption rather than noise.
Polygon’s one billion dollar milestone shows that people are no longer just experimenting with crypto. They are using it for real payments.
Below is a breakdown of the major catalysts that boosted November’s numbers:
Originally launched as Matic Network in 2017, Polygon became a household name during Ethereum’s 2021 congestion. But the last two years have transformed the network from a DeFi booster into a global payments infrastructure.
Partnerships with Stripe, Nubank, Mercado Pago, and India’s PhonePe have driven massive flows across emerging markets. These integrations allow users to move stablecoins and fiat on-chain for micro-transactions, remittances, creator payouts, and gig economy earnings.
The November surge reflects the impact of these rollouts finally converging.
Users now prefer Polygon for payments because:
This milestone shows that Polygon is no longer just an Ethereum helper. It is becoming a standalone payments engine.
Real voices. Real reactions.
