Wilson Sonsini Advises Polygon Labs on Acquisitions of Coinme and Sequence
Client Highlights
January 14, 2026

On January 13, 2026, Polygon Labs announced definitive agreements to acquire Coinme and Sequence for more than $250 million to expand into regulated stablecoin payments in the U.S. Both companies will play foundational roles in building Polygon's forthcoming Open Money Stack, which aims to facilitate instant and reliable money movement. The Polygon Open Money Stack includes physical cash and digital fiat on- and off-ramps, wallet infrastructure, and cross-chain orchestration through intents. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati is advising Polygon on both transactions.

Coinme is a U.S.-regulated digital currency payments company offering fiat-to-crypto and stablecoin services through a nationwide network. Sequence develops enterprise smart wallets and a cross-chain routing engine for wallet-based payment flows.
