MoneyGram 和 Stellar 团队合作进行即时加密货币到现金转账

The agreement will provide digital wallets connected to the Stellar network with access to MoneyGram’s retail network, enabling cash funding and payout in local currency for consumers using USDC, as well as near-instant backend settlement capabilities.

“At MoneyGram, one of our top strategic priorities is to pioneer cross-border payment innovation and blockchain-enabled settlement,” says Alex Holmes, MoneyGram chairman and CEO. “As crypto and digital currencies rise in prominence, we’re especially optimistic about the potential of stablecoins as a method to streamline cross-border payments. Given our expertise in global payments, blockchain, and compliance, we are extremely well-positioned to continue to be the leader in building bridges to connect digital currencies with local fiat currencies.”

德克萨斯联合银行将充当 Circle 和 MoneyGram 之间的结算银行。

Scott Beck, director of United Texas Bank, states: “We are pleased to play an integral part in completing the settlement process by working on this first of a kind direct USDC to USD settlement within a bank regulatory framework.”

该合作伙伴关系计划于 2021 年在部分市场上线，并计划于 2022 年在国际上进一步推广。

与 Stellar 的交易是在 MoneyGram 因与美国证券交易委员会的监管纠纷而终止了之前与 Ripple 的合作关系之后达成的。
