USDPT Stablecoin by Western Union to Be Integrated Into Crossmint Infrastructure
Enterprise-grade stablecoin infrastructure platform Crossmint will become a technology partner of Western Union as part of the launch of USDPT, a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin issued on the Solana blockchain.
Crossmint, one of the largest Web3 infrastructure providers, announced a partnership with international money transfer system Western Union to support the launch of the USDPT dollar stablecoin and the integration of Digital Asset Network, a new Western Union infrastructure solution designed for working with digital assets.
The launch of USDPT and the Digital Asset Network platform was announced in October 2025. The U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin will be issued on Solana with the participation of Anchorage Digital Bank. The Digital Asset Network platform will be connected to Western Union’s global network and will allow users to convert stablecoins into local currency through more than 360,000 Western Union payout locations worldwide.
Crossmint provides enterprise-grade infrastructure for working with stablecoins and digital wallets, enabling FinTech companies and large enterprises to integrate crypto payments through APIs. The platform currently serves over 40,000 clients.
As part of the partnership, Crossmint will integrate access to USDPT into its wallet and payments APIs and will also connect to the Digital Asset Network. The initiative will allow FinTech companies and Crossmint’s corporate clients to instantly transfer funds on the Solana network, store stablecoins, and, when needed, use Western Union’s infrastructure to receive cash payouts.
According to Rodrigo Fernández Touza, Co-Founder of Crossmint, stablecoins are increasingly being used as a tool for international settlements and liquidity management. In his view, partnering with one of the world’s largest money transfer companies will significantly expand the possibilities for direct exchange between stablecoins and fiat currencies.
Malcolm Clarke, Vice President of Digital Assets at Western Union, noted that the collaboration will connect global digital wallets and platforms with the company’s proven payment infrastructure and will also provide Crossmint clients with the ability to receive cash in more than 200 countries.
Western Union is actively testing ways to integrate digital assets into its global money transfer infrastructure and also registered a trademark in the United States to provide a wide range of services related to digital assets.

From SpaceX to Anthropic, the market has new strategies for dealing with tech giants' IPOs
The market's response strategies to major listings are currently centered around "index inclusion expectations": the new regulations allow mega IPOs to be included in the six major indices within 15 days, triggering concentrated buying by passive funds. Investors are positioning themselves in advance and using options to hedge and amplify buying power. However, Anthropic has a free float of only about 6%; shares available for sale by employees on the first day and privately placed shares with no lock-up period may create supply pressure. On the other hand, index arbitrageurs are facing a rare opportunity.
