On March 4, Crossmint, a platform that provides enterprise-grade stablecoin infrastructure, announced a partnership with The Western Union Company (NYSE:WU). The companies will work together to support the rollout of USDPT, Western Union’s new U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoin. The token will be issued on Solana and linked to the company’s newly announced Digital Asset Network.

Western Union said its Digital Asset Network is designed to connect stablecoins with real-world cash access. The system allows users to convert digital dollars into local currency through more than 360,000 collection points worldwide.

As part of the partnership, Crossmint plans to integrate with Western Union’s Digital Asset Network. It also intends to support access to USDPT through its existing wallet and payment APIs. Over time, the companies expect the integration to help fintech applications move funds instantly on Solana, store value in digital dollars, and connect to Western Union’s payout network, where available.

The Western Union Company (NYSE:WU) provides cross-border and cross-currency money movement, payments, and digital financial services. Its services are used by consumers, businesses, financial institutions, and governments. The company operates through two segments: Consumer Money Transfer and Consumer Services.
