Western Union to Integrate “Seamless” Stablecoin Payments via New Solana-Based Network

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Western Union is building a bridge between traditional finance and digital assets with a new stablecoin and a proprietary “Digital Asset Network.”

Scheduled for a 2026 launch, the USDPT stablecoin on Solana aims to provide a seamless user experience for cross-border payments, backed by the company’s global compliance and risk management infrastructure.

The token, issued in partnership with Anchorage Digital Bank, will also be listed on partner exchanges, providing liquidity outside the Western Union ecosystem.

This initiative capitalizes on the company’s growing digital momentum, coming just a day after it reported that over half of its digital transactions are now wallet and account-based.
