Polygon lanza actualización clave para impulsar el auge de las stablecoins en 2025

La red Polygon se prepara para una mejora crítica que podría cambiar las reglas del juego en el ecosistema DeFi.

Escalando para la demanda masiva

Con el volumen de stablecoins alcanzando nuevos máximos históricos, la actualización llega en el momento preciso. La red busca eliminar cuellos de botella antes de que los traders tradicionales terminen saturando la cadena—como siempre hacen.

Tecnología bajo el capó

Los desarrolladores prometen mejoras en la velocidad de transacción y tarifas más bajas. Porque nada dice 'adopción institucional' como reducir costos para los grandes jugadores mientras los pequeños inversores siguen pagando gas fees absurdos.

¿Será suficiente para mantener a Polygon a la cabeza de la carrera L2? Los nodos comenzarán a votar la propuesta esta semana. Mientras tanto, los whales ya están acumulando—clásico.

Polygon tapped growing activity during the 2025 bull market

Polygon noted increased gas usage in 2025, reflecting its central role in prediction markets and general stablecoin transfers. 

To boost usage, the Polygon team aims to increase throughput by 33% by increasing the maximum gas limit. Polygon has already shown a jump in transactions in 2025, coinciding with the recent bull market. 

Currently, Polygon is still a highly accessible network, with transactions costing under $0.01. Even during periods of congestion, transactions only reach $0.10 at the highest. As of September 16, the Origin:Turbine smart contract is the busiest, followed by the QuickSwap V2 router. 

In the past six months, Polygon transactions have increased gradually, as L2 chains drew in more activity. Around 13.6% of the Ethereum ecosystem activity happens on L2 chains. 

Polygon gets a boost from active stablecoin transfers

Polygon is among the top networks for stablecoin transfers. The chain only carries around $2.9B in total stablecoin supply, based on native or bridged tokens. 

Despite this, Polygon is among the top chains for USDT, USDC, and USDS transfers, based on Dune Analytics data. The chain is closely linked to the Ethereum ecosystem and has been used for DeFi and gaming in previous bull markets. 

USDC is one of the most widely used tokens, tied to activity on Polymarket. QuickSwap is also driving activity, as the most active native DEX on the chain. The chain also carries one of the still-active on-chain games, Sunflower Land, which also uses USDC for in-game items. 

Polygon was seen as one of the more reliable chains, with the ability to challenge Ethereum. The expansion of L2 chains displaced the network, and briefly, the chain turned into a degen hotspot, an NFT trading chain, and a multi-purpose arena for degen trading and risky projects. 

The newly launched zkEVM version is still growing its user base. In 2025, Polygon aims to reposition itself as one of the reliable chains, serving as a hub for fintech, payments and tokenized assets. 

Polygon’s utility has not been reflected in its native token. In 2025, POL traded near its lower range, sliding to around $0.27 from a peak at $0.60 in late 2024.
