What has more locations globally than Walmart, 7-Eleven, McDonald's, and Subway combined? @MoneyGram.
The launch of MGUSD on the Stellar network gives global users what they need: options.

The foundational step towards offering more services that will allow our customers to save time, effort and money. That's MGUSD.

I’ve been searching for a decade+ for a crypto use case to fundamentally improve remittances. We finally have that live with MGUSD.

The price of tokens has no impact on our plans. :)
shortly after we started bridge, terra-luna collapsed, ftx imploded, btc declined >75%, nfts crashed.
*all* of crypto was uninvestable
whatever this is, it’s not as bad as 2022. tokens are crashing but many of the core products are here to stay (stables, perps, lending, etc)

Yesterday was fun talking MGUSD and the journey that we’re on at MoneyGram.
Thanks @DanteReminick for the banter.
The hardest part of stablecoin payouts is not the protocol.
Josh Gordon-Blake (@_therealjosh) and Dante Reminick (@DanteReminick) on what operational scale really looks like, and how MoneyGram is going from send and receive to a global digital wallet:

Owning productive assets via the stock market has been the best wealth building mechanism of all time.
You are working to convince an entire generation to focus on meaningless short term bets. You actively work to destroy the wealth of your customers.

Big news, and I'm on 🧵 for the second time in as many weeks,
Last week, @StellarOrg and @The_DTCC announced a partnership to bring tokenized securities settlement to Wall Street.
Today, @MoneyGram launched MGUSD - their own dollar-backed stablecoin - built on Stellar. MGUSD is issued by @stripe 's Bridge, with smart contracts from @m0 and wallet infrastructure from @FireblocksHQ.

Today we launched MGUSD.
This wasn’t a decision made overnight.
This is the result of five years of putting stablecoin to work in the real world.
The outcome: A purpose-built stablecoin to power @MoneyGram global network.
Not for traders or institutions, but to make the experience better, faster, and more cost effective for our customers.

MoneyGram is joining @Tempo as its anchor remittance validator, actively contributing to the network’s operation, security and reliability.
Another step toward a more open, interoperable payments network, where stablecoin rails support real-world money movement at scale.

Crypto transfers are typically instant and seamless unless users want to convert their digital currency into cash.
Today, we’re changing that. We’ve partnered with @krakenfx to make digital assets usable in the real world, enabling their millions of users to cash out through our global retail network.
