Polygon Labs announced it has integrated Solana into its Open Money Stack payment platform, allowing enterprises to complete bank acceptance, cross-chain fund transfers, and payee disbursements via a single integration. The first clients include payment service provider Kira, whose CEO said the firm has already been using Solana to transfer stablecoins, and the Polygon integration will let it convert funds to U.S. dollars and deposit them into clients’ bank accounts for supplier payments. The stack connects Polygon, Ethereum, and TRON, which was integrated earlier this month. The integration comes as Solana completed its Alpenglow consensus upgrade last week, cutting transaction finalization time from around 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds. A product lead at the Solana Foundation said the network has processed over $5.5 trillion in stablecoin transaction volume in 2026. Earlier this month, Polygon also completed its acquisition of Coinme, securing money transmission licenses and exemptions covering 48 U.S. states.

On-chain analyst MLM reported that of the 3.75 million HYPE tokens sold over-the-counter last month, 3.125 million have been staked to validator wallets of HYPE treasury firm Hyperliquid Strategies (PURR) and Unit. The remaining 625,000 tokens were transferred to another HyperEVM address and remained idle for nearly three weeks before 1 HYPE was sent to a new address yesterday as a test transaction. This new address received funds via multiple transfers the same day, with its source address showing multiple ties to the address Trade.xyz used to purchase a ticker on Hyperliquid. The 625,000 HYPE tokens were subsequently moved to this new address and transferred from HyperEVM to Hypercore. The analyst stated that while it is strongly suspected ICE is the buyer of the 3.75 million HYPE tokens, this has not been confirmed. The 625,000 tokens may have been sent to Trade.xyz as part of ICE’s investment, and on-chain links strongly indicate these tokens belong to Trade.xyz.
