Western Union has launched Stablecard in 37 markets.
Users can receive remittances as USDPT, hold the dollar-backed stablecoin in a wallet and spend through a linked Visa card. USDPT is issued by Anchorage Digital Bank on Solana.
Why it matters: a remittance company moving more than $100 billion annually is introducing stablecoins directly to mainstream consumers.
Key risk: Western Union has not disclosed adoption volumes, and USDPT’s current circulation remains small relative to its potential distribution network.
