[Polygon Lays Off Nearly 30% After Acquisition, Focuses on Stablecoin Payments] According to reports from social media, Polygon recently laid off approximately 30% of its workforce. This adjustment is related to the integration following its $250 million acquisition of Coinme and Sequence. Polygon stated that the layoffs are part of the post-acquisition integration plan, and the overall number of employees is expected to remain stable. Previously, Polygon announced a strategic transformation, shifting its focus from pure scaling and DeFi to a payment-first approach. It aims to promote the development of the 'Open Money Stack' to support compliant stablecoin payments and on-chain capital flows. Polygon's CEO stated that the consolidation of certain positions was a necessary decision, but the overall team size remains largely unchanged.
