WESTERN UNION CHOOSES SOLANA AFTER TESTING XRP

🔹 Western Union has confirmed it will launch a stablecoin called “U.S. Dollar Payment Token (USDPT)” in the first half of 2026, issued by Anchorage Digital on the Solana blockchain.

🔹 The token will be used within Western Union’s global payment network of over 100 million users, aiming to reduce costs and increase the speed of cross-border transactions.

🔹 Previously, in 2018, Western Union tested Ripple’s (XRP) technology for international payments but discontinued it due to high transaction costs and no significant improvement compared to its traditional systems at the time.

🔹 The company’s reason for choosing Solana this time is its extremely fast processing speed and low fees.#solana #btc
