MoneyGram: Real-time transfer with Stablecoin USDC possible soon

 


MoneyGram introduces USDC processing via the Stellar blockchain and enables customers in brick-and-mortar branches to convert directly into cash.

MoneyGram continues to push crypto adoption. To this end, the transaction service provider has entered into a partnership with the Stellar Development Foundation. Customers MoneyGram who according to press release so soon the way to make money with the popular Stablecoin USDC of Circle convert and send directly to fiat money. Working with Circle, MoneyGram will also enable “near-instant backend processing”, account funding, and local cash withdrawals using the USDC stable token. The United Texas Bank assumes the role of a development bank. In this way, all parties want to ensure compliance with the regulatory framework.


This is not the first step MoneyGram is taking in terms of crypto adaptation. In May, the payment service provider announced that it would offer Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals. A controversial step because MoneyGram could theoretically destroy its own business model with it. Because the main source of income for the money sender is of course the transaction fees. And it is precisely the low cost of transfers that is one reason why stablecoins are used for money transfers.

MoneyGram has also worked with Ripple

However, MoneyGram has been dealing with blockchain activities for a long time. In June 2019, a cooperation was started with Ripple to access digital assets for cross-border payments and foreign exchange settlements. However, due to the disputes between Ripple and the US regulator SEC, this collaboration has been a thing of the past this spring.


The partnership with Stellar is expected to start in selected countries at the end of 2021 and will also be launched internationally in 2022. Denelle Dixon, CEO and General Manager of the Stellar Development Foundation stated:

A new segment of cash users will be able to convert and convert their cash to USDC, giving them access to fast and affordable digital asset services that may previously have been out of reach.

In the announcement, MoneyGram expects the impact of this partnership to grow as more wallets and companies join the Stellar network.

As cryptocurrencies and digital currencies continue to grow in importance, we are particularly optimistic about the potential of stablecoins as a method of streamlining cross-border payments. With our expertise in the areas of global payments, blockchain and compliance, we are ideally positioned to continue to play a leading role in building bridges between digital currencies and local fiat currencies

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...
