Western Union Files Trademark for New Crypto Services

[chainsniff]

Western Union has filed a trademark application for “WUUSD”, signaling deeper plans in digital assets. The filing, submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Wednesday, covers a wide range of crypto-related services, including stablecoin payment processing, crypto trading, and wallet software.
The move comes just a day after Western Union confirmed it would launch a stablecoin system on the Solana blockchain in the first half of 2026. The company also plans to introduce a Digital Asset Network in partnership with Anchorage Digital Bank to help users convert stablecoins into cash.

This trademark move signals long-term commitment — not just a pilot phase. Western Union is going all in.

Feels like a preparation for full digital transformation. The old remittance model is evolving fast.
