Polygon has laid off approximately 30% of its workforce, an adjustment related to the integration following its $250 million acquisitions of Coinme and Sequence. Polygon stated that the layoffs are part of the post-acquisition integration plan, and the total number of employees is expected to remain stable. Previously, Polygon announced a strategic transformation, focusing on the payments sector and promoting the construction of an "open money stack" to support compliant stablecoin payments and on-chain capital flows. The Polygon CEO said that the consolidation of some positions was a necessary decision, but the overall team size will remain roughly unchanged.

On Thursday, the Nasdaq Stock Exchange experienced a network outage, resulting in intermittent data feed failures across its three major U.S. equity markets: Nasdaq, Nasdaq Texas, and Nasdaq PSX. The disruption began at 11:27 a.m. Eastern Time and was traced back to the data center in Carteret, New Jersey, where both primary and backup data sources were affected. Nasdaq quickly directed clients to switch to the backup data source in Chicago and announced the restoration of normal operations at 2:25 p.m.
