Enterprises Poised to Drive Next Stablecoin Boom

Stablecoins have largely served crypto trading and back-office settlement, but their appeal is widening where conventional payments remain slow, costly or fragmented. Polygon Labs Chief Executive Marc Boiron argues the strongest use cases lie in cross-border transfers, marketplace payouts and business disbursements. Large enterprises can accelerate adoption because they command substantial payment volumes and have incentives to cut pre-funding costs, while Visa, Mastercard and banks weigh how stablecoin rails and tokenized deposits could complement existing networks.

In a podcast released by The Fintech Times on Sept. 6, 2026, Boiron said the next six months could bring a shift from fintech and neobank announcements toward deployments by major companies and marketplaces. Meta already uses stablecoins for creator payouts in the Philippines and Colombia, while Polygon supports about 20 stablecoin currencies. Boiron said enterprise use could create a feedback loop as more recipients hold digital dollars and more merchants and financial institutions add support, though the report offered no market-value forecast.
