American cross-border remittance and payments company MoneyGram announced the launch of the U.S. dollar stablecoin MGUSD on the Stellar blockchain. MGUSD will be initially opened to U.S. users, and will be expanded to its global network in the future. MGUSD is issued by Bridge, a stablecoin infrastructure platform under Stripe, with M0 providing smart contracts and Fireblocks providing wallet infrastructure. MoneyGram currently has more than 60 million users and nearly 500,000 offline branches; users will be able to hold U.S. dollar balances via self-custody wallets within the app.

XLM-13.24%

I really want to know how much the fee is. Western Union is now charging me 7%, which is just robbery.

If offline outlets can directly deposit and withdraw MGUSD, then it truly becomes the crypto version of Western Union remittance.

Bridge + M0 + Fireblocks, this tech stack is quite luxurious; it's the standard setup for traditional finance entering the blockchain.

The Stellar chain finally has a major player; is XLM about to move?

American users eat first, then gradually release worldwide, a typical compliance-first strategy.

MGUSD, this name is way too straightforward, with MoneyGram directly abbreviating itself, as if afraid others won't know who issued it.

Waiting for an MGUSD and XLM trading pair; I’m watching the arbitrage opportunities.

Stripe’s Bridge has been appearing rather often lately, and the war for stablecoin infrastructure has started.

The point about self-custody wallets is very important. Has MoneyGram finally stopped acting as an intermediary to profit from the spread?

60 million users + 500k outlets, this is true mass adoption, not those empty slogans.
