Crossmint, a leading provider of enterprise-grade stablecoin infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership with Western Union (NYSE: WU) to power the rollout of USDPT, the payments giant’s new U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoin issued on Solana, and to support Western Union’s newly launched Digital Asset Network.

The collaboration aims to give USDPT immediate real-world utility by linking the Solana-based stablecoin directly to Western Union’s vast global payout infrastructure. Users will be able to convert digital dollars held in USDPT into local currency cash at more than 360,000 Western Union collection points across over 200 countries and territories.

“Stablecoins are quickly becoming a foundation for global treasury money movement,” said Rodrigo Fernández Touza, Co-Founder of Crossmint. “Western Union has one of the most recognized payout networks on the planet. We’re excited to partner with them as they bring USDPT to market and explore new ways to connect digital dollars with local access around the world.”

Under the agreement, Crossmint will integrate Western Union’s Digital Asset Network into its wallet and payment APIs. This will allow fintechs, platforms, and developers using Crossmint’s infrastructure to offer instant Solana transfers, hold value in USDPT, and give end-users the option to cash out at any Western Union location worldwide.

“Western Union’s Digital Asset Network is designed to link digital value with our global cash and payout ecosystem,” said Malcolm Clarke, Western Union’s Vice President of Digital Assets. “Working with partners like Crossmint helps to seamlessly connect global wallets and digital platforms to Western Union’s trusted payment infrastructure. This collaboration bridges digital value with real-world access, enabling Crossmint’s customers to enjoy reliable cash pick-up options in more than 200 countries globally.”

The partnership marks a significant step in Western Union’s ongoing expansion into digital assets and underscores Solana’s growing role as a high-speed, low-cost blockchain for stablecoin issuance and cross-border payments. Further details on the integration timeline and supported use cases are expected in the coming months.
