Polygon gains US payments licenses after closing Coinme deal

Polygon has closed its acquisition of Coinme, gaining 37 US money transmitter licenses and 11 state exemptions. This regulatory footprint lets Polygon operate payment services across most US states, expanding its real-world utility beyond its MATIC token and blockchain infrastructure. Traders may view the licensing as a step toward broader institutional adoption and payments revenue, though the direct near-term price impact is likely limited.
