- WSPN announced a new partnership with Polygon Labs.
- The partnership seeks to drive stablecoin adoption.
- It came after WSPN secured $30 million in funding in August.
Blockchain infrastructure developer Polygon Labs has partnered with the Worldwide Stablecoin Payment Network (WSPN) to drive digital asset adoption through the companyโs flagship U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin, WUSD.
Former Visa and Paxos employees founded WSPN, a Singapore-based fintech startup that provides global digital payment solutions via blockchain technology.

In a press release on November 22, WSPN said its partnership with Polygon Labs was crucial in driving WUSDโs mass adoption across various markets following the stablecoinโs network infrastructure integration with Polygon PoS earlier this year.
