In this episode of the Wrap Up Podcast, I sit down with Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, to unpack how one of the biggest blockchain players is shifting its focus from scaling infrastructure to becoming a core layer for global payments.

We dive into why Polygon is doubling down on payments, how stablecoins and tokenized deposits are reshaping money movement, and what the “open money stack” really means for fintechs, banks, and enterprises. Marc breaks down how Polygon is thinking about wallets, on/off ramps, interoperability, and why a vertically integrated yet open platform could define the next phase of financial infrastructure.

We also explore a key question: if blockchain payments are already fast, cheap, and global, what is actually holding adoption back? From regulation to real-world use cases, this conversation cuts through the noise and focuses on what will drive the next wave of growth.

If you are building in fintech, payments, or crypto, this episode is a deep look at where on-chain money is heading and who is positioning to power it.
