Anchorage Digital Says Visa Partners Can Settle in Western Union’s USDPT Stablecoin

The significance lies less in the stablecoin itself than in who is doing the minting: a bank-issued token used for network settlement obligations, which pushes stablecoins further into wholesale payment plumbing rather than retail trading. That it comes via Anchorage's announcement, with Visa silent, leaves the scope of adoption unclear — the option's existence is not evidence of use. The open question is whether Visa network participants actually route settlement through USDPT, and whether Visa itself confirms or expands the arrangement.
