Western Union Unveils USDPT Stablecoin and Digital Asset Network, Targets 2026 Listing and Solana Blockchain Initiative with Anchorage

In a move signaling greater institutional commitment to crypto rails, Western Union announced a US Dollar stablecoin named USDPT. The initiative includes a targeted digital asset network aimed at bridging the digital asset realm with fiat transactions and enabling practical use in daily payments.

The company outlined a timetable with USDPT slated for listing in the first half of 2026, reflecting a measured pace aligned with risk governance and regulatory readiness. Management emphasized scalability and interoperability as core priorities for the rollout.

Earlier reporting indicated a parallel track with Anchorage to issue a stablecoin on the Solana blockchain in 2026 and to introduce the broader digital asset network with a wallet provider.
