Visa Brings Western Union's USDPT Stablecoin Into Its Settlement Network
The card giant adds another token to its stablecoin settlement lineup, integrating Western Union's USDPT for clearing in Visa's settlement flows.
Visa has connected USDPT, the stablecoin issued by Western Union, to its settlement network, making it the latest token in the payment giant's stablecoin settlement lineup. According to Cryptonews.net, the integration means USDPT can be used in the clearing leg of Visa's settlement process.
In recent years, Visa has steadily brought stablecoins into its clearing and settlement system, having previously supported tokens such as USDC for settlement between issuing banks and acquiring banks. Western Union, for its part, is known for cross-border remittances and its cash network; USDPT is issued by the company and positioned around remittance use cases.
Neither party disclosed the specific launch timing, covered markets, or settlement volumes for the integration. For the industry, the connection between a card network's settlement system and a remittance provider's own stablecoin is another example of traditional clearing and settlement infrastructure embracing on-chain assets.
