Mars Finance News, May 13 — According to an exclusive report by The Block, the U.S. federally chartered crypto bank Anchorage Digital has partnered with Grupo Salinas, controlled by Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego. Anchorage will provide its dollar-pegged stablecoin payment channel to Grupo Salinas to optimize cross-border payment processes denominated in USD.
Under the agreement, Grupo Salinas will integrate Anchorage Digital’s stablecoin infrastructure into its cross-border payment flow through its crypto division Coinpro, to reduce settlement cycles. The partnership leverages a blockchain-based USD transfer channel, introducing programmable real-time settlement capabilities while maintaining the governance, security, and regulatory standards required by large financial institutions.
Nathan McCauley, co-founder and CEO of Anchorage Digital, stated that stablecoins are evolving from trading tools into core financial infrastructure, and their “Bank Stablecoin Solution” offers banks and financial institutions a secure, federally regulated way to transfer USD globally via blockchain channels.
Carlos Díaz Alonso, an executive at Grupo Salinas, said the partnership will jointly develop more efficient channels to benefit customers and users of its retail financial services company Elektra.
It is worth noting that Grupo Salinas is controlled by the well-known Bitcoin bull Ricardo Salinas Pliego, who also controls Banco Azteca. Recently, Western Union launched a USD-pegged stablecoin issued by Anchorage Digital on the Solana blockchain.
