Western Union Pilots Stablecoin Settlement System

[ed]

Western Union is launching a stablecoin-based pilot to modernize global remittances for its 150M+ customers, CEO Devin McGranahan confirmed during Q3 earnings.
The pilot aims to replace legacy banking rails, cut settlement times, and reduce costs — all while maintaining compliance and customer trust.
With over 70M transfers per quarter, blockchain rails could mark a major step toward faster, onchain money movement.

If Western Union succeeds here, expect others to follow fast.
