According to ChainCatcher, The Block reports that Western Union CEO Devin McGranahan has stated the company is exploring the possibility of launching stablecoin services within digital wallets and plans to establish on- and off-ramp partnerships to support customers in buying and selling stablecoins. He emphasized that stablecoins present three major opportunities: increasing the speed of cross-border transfers, facilitating stablecoin-to-fiat exchanges, and serving as a store of value in volatile economies.
This initiative was proposed following the signing of the GENIUS Act, which establishes a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins and promotes their compliant development within the global mainstream financial system.
