MoneyGram Partners with Stellar Development on Blockchain Deal - Bloomberg
The partnership with the Stellar Development Foundation will integrate MoneyGram’s network with the Stellar blockchain to facilitate payments using Circle Internet Financial’s USD Coin. This is huge for the Stellar network, and the wallets that are part of the Stellar network. The partnership also changes the settlement process for MoneyGram by enabling settlements to happen in near-real time. MoneyGram is one of the largest money-transfer providers in the world enabling people to send money across more than 200 countries.
