🌍 MoneyGram Joins Solana as Validator as Stable coins Expand Across Global Payments MoneyGram has officially joined the Solana network as a validator, directly participating in transaction validation and SOL staking operations.


The move follows the launch of MoneyGram’s stable coin MGUSD in May 2026 and marks another major step in the company’s multi-year expansion into digital assets.
🔸 At the same time, Western Union has also launched its own stable coin, USDPT, on Solana.
The company said stable coins could significantly reduce capital costs and banking fees across its annual transaction volume of more than $100 billion.
📈 Stable coin adoption is also accelerating across Latin America:
Bitso reported that institutional stable coin transaction volume increased 81% during the first half of 2026.
⚡ The trend highlights how stable coins are rapidly evolving from a crypto niche into core global payment infrastructure, especially for cross-border remittances and settlement networks.
