MoneyGram rolls out Visa stablecoin card as blockchain payments expand

MoneyGram is expanding its blockchain-based payments offering with the rollout of a Visa stablecoin debit card, according to Cointelegraph. The move follows a similar step by rival Western Union, underscoring growing competition among remittance companies in digital-asset payment services. The card links MoneyGram’s established money-transfer business with stablecoin-based spending through the Visa network. The source did not provide details on the card’s launch markets, supported stablecoins, fees, or customer eligibility. MoneyGram’s rollout adds another payments-focused development to the stablecoin sector, as established remittance providers explore ways to combine traditional transfer services with blockchain infrastructure. The announcement is relevant to crypto markets because it highlights continued activity around stablecoin use beyond trading, particularly in cross-border payments and consumer spending.
