WUUSD and USDPT: Western Union’s Dual Stablecoin Plans Raise Questions

[chainsniff]

Western Union’s latest trademark filing for WUUSD adds a new layer of intrigue to its crypto strategy. The company had already filed a similar application earlier this month for another token, USDPT, or “US Dollar Payment Token.”
It remains unclear whether the two marks represent separate products or rebranding efforts. Both filings suggest Western Union is preparing to offer a full suite of digital asset services, including stablecoin exchanges, crypto lending, and brokerage functions—a notable shift from its traditional money transfer business. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has accepted the application, which is awaiting assignment to an examiner.

Two stablecoins? Curious to see how they’ll manage liquidity and trust between them.

Regulatory clarity will be key if Western Union wants both coins to coexist efficiently. ️
