Polygon Labs today announced the elevation of Aishwary Gupta to the role of Global Head of Business, marking a significant leadership milestone as the company accelerates its expansion into regulated stablecoin payments and global money movement.
Gupta, who has been instrumental in building Polygon’s institutional and enterprise partnerships across markets, steps into the role at a time when blockchain-led financial infrastructure is witnessing increasing regulatory clarity and commercial adoption worldwide.
In his new capacity, Gupta will lead Polygon Labs’ global business strategy, enterprise partnerships, and ecosystem expansion. His mandate includes driving adoption of the company’s Open Money Stack — a vertically integrated platform designed to enable regulated stablecoin payments and seamless cross-border money movement.
Reflecting on his journey, Aishwary Gupta said, “When I joined Polygon, I believed blockchain would fundamentally reshape how money moves. What I didn’t fully anticipate was how quickly that conviction would be tested and validated. Every partnership and breakthrough moment reinforced one thing: the world is ready for better money infrastructure.”
This next phase of growth follows Polygon Labs’ recent acquisitions of Coinme and Sequence, which significantly enhance its capabilities across fiat access, wallet infrastructure, and stablecoin settlement. Through Coinme, Polygon Labs gains licensed fiat on- and off-ramps across 48 U.S. states, while Sequence strengthens enterprise-grade smart wallet infrastructure and cross-chain transaction capabilities. Combined with Polygon’s network, which has already facilitated over $2.2 trillion in on-chain value transfer, the Open Money Stack aims to address long-standing inefficiencies in global payments.
The platform is designed to eliminate traditional bottlenecks such as correspondent banking dependencies, settlement delays, and operational cut-off times, enabling payments that settle in seconds while integrating with existing financial systems.
“The vision is simple: empower anyone, anywhere to move money instantly,” Gupta added, “The next few years will define how money moves for decades, and I’m stepping into this role ready to lead from the front.”
