Western Union to launch USDPT stablecoin on Solana in May, Stable Card targets inflation-hit markets like Argentina

Western Union confirmed its USDPT stablecoin launches next month on Solana, issued by Anchorage Digital Bank — making the legacy remittance giant one of the first traditional payments players to ship a regulated dollar stablecoin. CEO Devin McGranahan also unveiled the "Stable Card," a prepaid card letting consumers hold value in stablecoin form and spend anywhere cards are accepted, with inflation-hit markets like Argentina (200%+ inflation last year) flagged as the prime target. Both products feed into WU's new Digital Asset Network (DAN), which connects crypto wallets to its global retail and agent footprint through a single API.
