Western Union Taps Solana for New USDPT Stablecoin Network

[mendez]

Western Union has partnered with Crossmint to support the launch of its new USDPT stablecoin and Digital Asset Network built on the Solana. The collaboration will integrate Crossmint’s wallet and payment APIs into Western Union’s infrastructure, allowing fintech platforms to send and receive funds using stablecoins while connecting to the company’s global payout network.

The Digital Asset Network aims to bridge blockchain-based dollars with Western Union’s existing system of more than 360,000 cash pickup locations worldwide. This would allow users to convert digital dollars into local currencies through Western Union’s established network, opening the door for easier access to stablecoin-powered payments.
