Western Union Launches Its Own Dollar Stablecoin on Solana

By Isaac • May 4, 2026 6:57 pm •

Western Union announced USDPT on May 4, a U.S. dollar-denominated payment stablecoin built on Solana and issued by Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. The token is fully backed by U.S. dollars and designed to run inside the company’s existing payment systems across more than 200 countries.

This is a remittance company with real-world agent networks and compliance infrastructure putting a regulated dollar token into live settlement operations. That makes it different from most stablecoin launches in crypto.

We’re happy to announce the launch of USDPT, Western Union’s USD‑backed stablecoin — issued by @Anchorage and built on @solana — bringing blockchain settlement into our global, regulated payments network. Follow @USDPT_ for updates. Learn more: https://t.co/t6h28rhbaz pic.twitter.com/aX6WNJIEoz
