Western Union will launch payment cards that support stablecoin pre-charges, primarily targeting markets in high-inflation economies.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Western Union, a major international money transfer company, has announced the issuance of payment cards that support pre-charged stablecoins. Initially targeting countries and regions experiencing high inflation, the cards aim to further expand the integration of digital assets into payment services. Western Union CFO Matthew Cagwin stated that the payment cards primarily provide greater stability to purchasing power, especially in economies with significant currency depreciation, such as Argentina where inflation exceeded 200% last year. The USD-denominated stablecoin cards help remittance recipients better preserve the value of their funds. Furthermore, Western Union revealed that it is also preparing to launch USDPT, a USD payment token issued by Anchorage Digital on the Solana network, previously planned for a 2026 launch.
