MoneyGram napoveduje partnerstvo s podjetjem Stellar za širitev uporabe USDC.

One of the largest money transfer services in the world, MoneyGram, is partnerski with the Stellar Development Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports the development of Stellar, a blockchain network that facilitates cross-border transactions. The Stellar network utilizes the XLM coin to operate, currently priced at $0.327 with a $7.8 billion market capitalization. This is not the first time MoneyGram has partnered with a blockchain firm. Earlier, the international money transfer service company had partnered with Ripple Labs.

The partnership will enable cash funding and payout in multiple currencies.

S partnerstvom se bo MoneyGramovo omrežje integriralo z blokovno verigo Stellar, da bi omogočilo denarno financiranje in izplačila v več valutah, naj bo to ameriški dolar ali japonski jen, z uporabo USD Coin (USDC), stabilnega kovanca, ki ga upravljata Coinbase in Circle prek konzorcija Center, po Denelle Dixon, izvršni direktor in izvršni direktor fundacije Stellar Development Foundation. USD Coin, ki je bil prvotno razvit na blokovni verigi Ethereum, je februarja začel delovati na Stellarju.

Customers will be able to convert cash into and out of USDC.

With this partnership, customers will be able to convert cash into and out of USDC for instant pickup at MoneyGram locations. On the backend, Dallas-based FDIC-insured United Texas Bank will facilitate settlement between Circle and MoneyGram. The service is scheduled to launch in select markets by the end of this year, with a further international rollout planned in 2022, though no additional details, including pricing, have been shared. “We’re enabling consumers to bridge crypto assets and fiat currency,” says Alex Holmes, chairman and CEO of MoneyGram International, “and we think that we can be a pioneer and a leader in that opportunity.”
