Western Union lanza USDPT en Solana para pagos globales
Western Union (NYSE: WU) anunció el lanzamiento de USDPT, su stablecoin de pago denominada en dólares estadounidenses, lo que marca un hito en la evolución de la compañía hacia una infraestructura financiera regulada y digital. Totalmente respaldada por dólares estadounidenses y emitida por Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., el primer banco cripto regulado a nivel federal en los Estados Unidos, y construida en Solana, USDPT está diseñada para operar dentro de sistemas de pago del mundo real, combinando la liquidación basada en blockchain con las capacidades de cumplimiento, riesgo y distribución global de Western Union (Fuente Western Union).
«USDPT refuerza el papel de Western Union como plataforma de pagos global», dijo Devin McGranahan, presidente y CEO de Western Union. «Al integrar un dólar digital regulado directamente en nuestra red, estamos creando una capa de liquidación más eficiente que da soporte a socios, agentes y futuros casos de uso para el consumidor, todo mientras preservamos la confianza y la escala que definen nuestra marca».
Emitida por Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. en infraestructura regulada a nivel federal e integrada en los sistemas de pago de Western Union, USDPT funciona como un activo de liquidación siempre disponible que opera en blockchain de alto rendimiento de Solana, eliminando la latencia y la fragmentación de los rieles bancarios corresponsales tradicionales.
«Las stablecoins siempre han prometido un movimiento de dinero más rápido y eficiente, pero escalarlas a redes de pago reales requiere más que tecnología», señala Nathan McCauley, cofundador y CEO de Anchorage Digital. «Requiere alineación regulatoria y rigor operativo. Como banco con estatuto federal, proporcionamos esa base, permitiendo que USDPT funcione como una infraestructura financiera confiable y siempre activa desde el primer día».
«Llevar las stablecoins a los flujos de pago de producción requiere una infraestructura que sea de grado institucional y esté disponible continuamente», dijo Lily Liu, presidenta de Solana Foundation. «El diseño de alto rendimiento y baja latencia de Solana permite que activos como USDPT se muevan con la velocidad y confiabilidad requeridas para la liquidación financiera del mundo real, dando soporte a los pagos globales sin interrupción».
Conectando activos digitales con pagos del mundo real
USDPT está diseñada para dar soporte a múltiples casos de uso estratégicos en todo el ecosistema de Western Union, reforzando el papel de larga data de la compañía como un puente entre los sistemas financieros globales y el acceso local a servicios financieros para sus clientes.
Western Union está desarrollando los siguientes servicios para dar soporte a USDPT:
- Soporte Global de Intercambio, para hacer que USDPT esté disponible para su compra en intercambios de moneda virtual globales con licencia.
- Red de Activos Digitales (Digital Asset Network), para conectar intercambios y custodios de moneda virtual con licencia a la infraestructura global de pago y liquidez de Western Union.
- Stable by Western Union, una capacidad de gasto orientada al consumidor que se lanzará en 2026 en más de 40 países.
- Liquidación de Agentes y Tesorería, para permitir la liquidación casi instantánea, 24/7 con USDPT entre Western Union y sus agentes globales. Esto permitirá a Western Union reducir los saldos inactivos y desplegar la liquidez de manera más dinámica en toda su red.
En conjunto, estas aplicaciones extenderán USDPT de la liquidación institucional al uso práctico en el mundo real, vinculando el valor digital con experiencias de pago en efectivo y para el consumidor.
Una señal para el futuro de los pagos
El lanzamiento de USDPT refleja un cambio más amplio en la evolución de los pagos globales, a medida que las instituciones financieras establecidas adoptan activos digitales regulados como infraestructura central en el futuro. Al combinar la liquidación por blockchain con una de las redes de movimiento de dinero más establecidas del mundo, Western Union está ayudando a dar forma a un futuro donde los dólares digitales operan a escala global con confianza institucional.

Western Union has returned the money to my account.
Still failing to transfer $AUD 500 to South Africa.
This is ridiculous.
Happy side: It is not an emergency. But it could be and the systems are garbage.

Hehler werden zu überteuerten Preisen Bargeld herausgeben, das ggf per #Moneygram oder #WesternUnion überwiesen werden kann.
Alles in allem eine Idiotische u.diskriminierende Idee. -

CW: Cryptocurrencies, Monero vs. Shitcoins
The only reason why #Monero :monero: isn't seen as irredeemable #Shitcoin by be (unlike #Ethereum & #Bitcoin :bitcoin: ) is because it kinda does #UNIX-esque #KissPrinciple and does one thing only but good:
Transfer #XMR privately, relatively fast, at low fees.
In that regard it competes with (Instant-) #SEPA, #WesternUnion, #SMSpayment #TransferWise, #CashApp, #Venmo, #SofortÜberweisung, #PayPal (and as #PaperWallet: #Paysafecard).

"1.00 USD = 4.1060 Romanian New Leu (RON)" ~Western Union

Despicable, but you use them anyway when sending to the most marginal and vulnerable people, those with no access directly or through friends/family to a bank account.

PSA to grandparents that children cannot cash money orders without being 18 and having a state id, AND any alteration of a money order invalidates it. So despite the Western Union sites saying, "Use them to give a gift..." or that naive Walmart cashier saying they would accept it signed over; no the parents can't just have the kid sign it over (defeats the purpose of the money order). So many websites extol this idea of depositing a Western Union money order, and it's not the teller's fault the kid is not 18... #westernunion #badgiftideas #walmart

Visa, PayPal, & #WesternUnion have submitted crypto trademark filings w/the #USPTO. This somewhat suggests that people who favor Visa & Paypal in opposition to #cryptocurrency may end up supporting c/c anyway, along w/the evils of #Visa’s #WarOnCash & #Paypal’s long list of wrongdoing.
