Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron stated that stablecoins will drive spending growth. With the improvement of capital efficiency, the profits obtained by banks due to the inefficiency of traditional payment systems will decrease, and enterprises and consumers will have more funds available for consumption. Marc Boiron pointed out that the accumulation of funds in prepaid accounts, settlement delays, bank deadlines, and idle balances have a much greater impact on economic growth than most people imagine. Stablecoins allow funds of the same scale to support more procurement, inventory, payroll, and cross-border trade. Marc Boiron believes that the winners of the next round of payment competition will be participants who can help businesses achieve millisecond level payments.
