MoneyGram Launches First Stablecoin-Backed Visa Card in Colombia

The notable part is not the card itself but the pairing: a legacy remittance brand leaning on stablecoin rails rather than building them, and choosing Colombia as the proving ground. That points to where the pressure sits — corridors where transfer costs and settlement delays have historically been the product's weak point. Whether this stays a single-market pilot or becomes a template for other remittance-heavy markets is the open question, and whether Visa's network plus a third-party platform can make the economics work at scale.
