[Western Union to Launch Stablecoin USDPT Next Month and Plans to Introduce 'Stable Card' for Global Consumers] According to The Block, Western Union announced that it will launch the Solana-based stablecoin USDPT next month. The stablecoin is positioned as an alternative to the SWIFT network for settlements between the company and its agents, rather than as a consumer-facing product. Western Union will also introduce a digital asset network, connecting crypto wallets to its existing retail and agent network. Millions of wallet users will be able to exchange digital assets into local currency through Western Union's retail network. Additionally, the company plans to launch a USD stable card in dozens of markets later this year, allowing consumers to hold value in stablecoins and spend globally.
