Polygon has battled a lot of identity issues with the MATIC and their years of pricing downtrend. They have yet to crack the stability of 10$ minimum. That's not all they are stuck under dollar many times and retain under dollar even today. But they have very high level utility that is in comparison to the Optimism, Arbitrum and many other L2 chains on Ethereum. 

Now apart from the Gaming, NFT and other use cases the most common one being the payment infra. That is where the Polygon is trying to crack and earn new partnership every now and then. They recently get into partnership with the AEON. 

AEON has been into the web3 payments and the infra platform for a time now. And they have managed to get the payment infra mastered. They intend to work in the web3 space and want to get ahead with the stablecoins deployed on every chain under their infra. So their current move with the USDC and POL on their wallet infra with partnership with Polygon is another move. 

Polygon thinks Stablecoins are not optional anymore. And they think they would drive the most funds around the world.

This means during the AEON based check out system you would find the $POL in the list. And also the USDC which is deployed on the POL chain would be in the list too. So that would be a good direction for both the sides. As that would likely to improve the value of the deployment and the building the right infra in the right places. This may take some effort with the adoption but more AEON gets adopted it benefits Polygon too.
