- Polygon drew major finance players in rapid succession, signaling rising trust in its network potential.
- Strong traction from Revolut, Mastercard, and Asian partners pushed real-world usage across global payment flows.
Polygon has recorded a wave of partnerships in November 2025, involving some of the biggest names in global finance. In a span of just one week, Revolut, Mastercard, and Calastone each announced integrations with Polygon’s blockchain network.
These developments indicate growing confidence in its ability to support secure and scalable financial systems. The inclusion of Mastercard stands out, as the company expanded its Crypto Credential service to self-custody wallets on November 18.
Polygon was selected as the first blockchain to power this rollout. Users can now perform transactions using simple aliases instead of long crypto addresses. This new format is supported by Mercuryo, which handles the onboarding of verified users.
At the same time, Calastone, the world’s largest global funds network, has fully linked its Tokenised Distribution platform with the Polygon network. This allows tokenised fund transactions to operate directly on blockchain infrastructure.
Calastone’s integration brings faster settlement, reduced operational overhead, and improved transparency for fund distribution.

Financial Applications Show Clear Usage Gains
Revolut has also launched functionality tied to Polygon. With over 65 million users across 38 countries, Revolut’s app now supports stablecoin-based transfers, trading, and payments using Polygon’s blockchain. The partnership enables users to transact without high fees or geographic limitations.
The platform’s role in Revolut’s operations is already measurable. By November 2025, the app had processed more than $690 million in volume through Polygon, reflecting active user participation in real-world transfers and trading.
The integration also includes native on- and off-ramp features within the app, offering a seamless process for users converting between crypto and fiat currencies.
These use cases suggest broader adoption, not only among retail users but also among financial platforms looking to improve efficiency and lower costs without compromising speed or security. The network’s technology is now proving its application in day-to-day financial activity.
Expansion into Asia Through Strategic Deals
In addition to its progress in the Western market, the network has deepened ties in Asia. The blockchain has partnered with R25, a new platform supported by Ant Financial. R25 selected Polygon as its preferred EVM blockchain partner for launching its tokenised finance operations.
This collaboration introduces rcUSD+ on the blockchain network. rcUSD+ is a yield-bearing token backed by stablecoin equivalents and money market funds. The token allows users to earn returns directly on-chain, reflecting a hybrid approach that combines blockchain transparency with traditional financial stability.
The strategic link with R25 marks an expansion of Polygon’s relevance in Asia-Pacific, supported by an increasing focus on stablecoins, particularly one pegged to the Japanese Yen. This growing use in cross-border payments shows the widening scope of Polygon’s real-world utility in international finance.
