Bybit Becomes First Major Crypto Exchange to Integrate Western Union’s USDPT Stablecoin, Bridging Two Financial Worlds Through One StablecoinJune 4, 2026 7:30 AM
Business Wire Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, and Western Union, the global money transfer network, today announced that its users can now access USDPT, a US dollar–denominated stablecoin issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A. on the Solana blockchain, via Bybit's fiat channels. This integration makes Bybit the first major crypto exchange to join Western Union’s global USDPT network. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260604080127/en/ Through this launch, Bybit and Western Union are building the foundations for a deeper, faster, and compliant integration of digital assets into the broader financial system. Starting with the onboarding of USDPT, Bybit and Western Union will expand on digital asset utility and towards a more inclusive vision for the future of finance. USDPT is issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A., a US national trust bank. USDPT is redeemable 1:1 for US dollars, and is fully backed by reserves. USDPT is designed to operate within real-world payment systems, combining blockchain-based settlement with Western Union’s global compliance, risk and distribution capabilities. Bybit brings the exchange platform, fiat liquidity, and access to millions of users. Western Union brings the stablecoin, the institutional backing, and one of the world's most established financial networks. Together, they open up a new way to buy and sell USDPT in local currencies. Bybit has been building the crypto infrastructure to address real-world financial services gaps since 2018. USDPT, built on Solana and issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, is where those two trajectories meet. In practice, that means a new on- and off-ramp channel for USDPT in selected markets across Latin America. Users can buy USDPT with supported fiat currencies on Bybit, or convert holdings back to any of those currencies at any time. “Making USDPT available through a leading global exchange like Bybit is a meaningful step in extending Western Union’s network into the digital asset ecosystem,” said Malcolm Clarke, Head of Digital Assets at Western Union. “By connecting our global payout infrastructure with a major crypto platform, we’re enabling more seamless movement between digital value and real-world money. This is where we see the future of settlement heading: always-on, programmable, and integrated across both traditional and digital financial systems, with USDPT at the center as a trusted, regulated settlement asset.” “This product marks a meaningful step for crypto adoption. When an established financial institution joins forces with a leading crypto exchange in a new stablecoin network, it shows crypto’s potential as payment infrastructure. For the millions who depend on remittances, USDPT represents financial innovation that solves real problems for real people,” said Victoria Kilikyan, Deputy Head of Fiat at Bybit. "Bybit and Western Union are setting a new standard for real-world crypto adoption in Latin America. We're building infrastructure for the future of the digital economy by working with an established global network that millions of people already trust," said Patricio Mesri, Country Manager of Spanish-speaking Latin America at Bybit. USDPT is now available on Bybit. To transact with USDPT, eligible users may simply log into Bybit and select the token, if available to their account, and buy or sell through Bybit One-Click Buy. The simple flow slashes the time needed from USDPT purchase to fiat off-ramp from days to minutes. Through the new channel, senders benefit from faster delivery of funds and lower overall costs. For Western Union and Bybit, it streamlines operations by removing settlement friction and capital lock-up across multiple layers. USDPT was launched as part of Western Union's broader digital asset strategy. The innovation creates a new layer parallel to legacy settlement networks that operate only on business days, enabling around-the-clock settlement. Terms and conditions apply.

Western Union Selects Fireblocks to Power its First Stablecoin, USDPTMay 4, 2026 7:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Fireblocks will provide the wallet, settlement, and financial operations infrastructure for Western Union's digital dollar, extending access and creating the foundation for a broader set of financial services to consumers in the Philippines and Bolivia, with global rollout planned through 2026.    NEW YORK and DENVER, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Western Union (NYSE: WU) today announced it has selected Fireblocks, the enterprise platform securing more than $14 trillion in digital asset transactions, to provide the core infrastructure behind USDPT, Western Union's U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin. Fireblocks' platform, along with Dynamic's embedded wallet and TRES' financial platform, both recently acquired by Fireblocks, will power Western Union's ability to settle with agents in USDPT across Western Union's global network this year.







Western Union has built its business on giving people fast, reliable access to money across borders. USDPT carries that legacy onto stablecoin rails. Fireblocks provides the unified infrastructure that lets Western Union operate USDPT at scale and better serve customers who live in markets where access to U.S. dollars is limited, local currencies are volatile or formal banking is out of reach. With USDPT, they will be able to hold value in dollars, choose when and how to convert into local currency and use those balances for spending and transfers across Western Union's network."Stablecoins are the foundation of how we deliver the next generation of settlement and consumer services in an evolving digital ecosystem," said Malcolm Clarke, Global Head of Digital Assetsat Western Union. "It puts a programmable dollar into our vast ecosystem and provides Western Union a platform from where we can continue to deliver customer utility and value. Working with Fireblocks, Dynamic and TRES provide a key part of our infrastructure enabling us to operationalize safely and securely at scale from day one."The Infrastructure Powering USDPT
Western Union is building USDPT treasury operations on the Fireblocks platform, which delivers the wallet, settlement and financial operations layer required to launch a regulated stablecoin program across a global consumer network.Fireblocks is the treasury bridge giving Western Union end-to-end control over USDPT's flow from treasury operations to tellers and consumers. The platform provides custody, policy controls and the Payments Engine for issuance and movement, with the Fireblocks Network connecting Western Union to 2,400+ institutional counterparties across 100+ countries for liquidity and settlement.Dynamic delivers the non-custodial embedded wallets that hold USDPT for Western Union's agents. These secured wallets are the basis for the additional services WU could deploy over time..TRES consolidates onchain data from across Western Union's USDPT stack, including wallet operations, treasury management and qualified custody, and translates it into the SWIFT MT940 and MT942 bank statement formats Western Union's treasury and finance systems already run on. The output flows directly into existing financial reporting cycles, letting USDPT operate inside Western Union's day-to-day reporting environment from launch."Remittance and cross-border payments are where stablecoin infrastructure proves its value in production," said Ran Goldi, SVP Payments and Network at Fireblocks. "Western Union operates one of the most complex global money movement networks in the world. Operationalizing a digital dollar across that network requires wallet infrastructure, settlement connectivity, and financial operations that work with the systems Western Union already runs. That is what Fireblocks, Dynamic and TRES deliver together."Global Rollout
USDPT operations on Fireblocks will roll out initially across two markets, the Philippines and Bolivia, with expansion across Western Union's global network through 2026. The rollout aligns with Western Union's broader strategy to modernize its settlement infrastructure and strengthen its competitive position as the global payments industry moves onchain."Every major shift in financial services requires infrastructure that can keep pace," said Michael Shaulov, CEO and Co-Founder of Fireblocks. "Western Union has operated the rails of global money movement for more than 170 years. Building USDPT on Fireblocks represents a generational modernization of that infrastructure, and we're proud to be the platform they've chosen to build it on."About Fireblocks
Fireblocks is the world's most trusted digital asset infrastructure company, empowering organizations of all sizes to build, manage and grow their business on the blockchain.

Western Union Launches USDPT on Solana Advancing Regulated Digital Infrastructure for Global PaymentsMay 4, 2026 7:30 AM
Business Wire
Western Union (NYSE: WU) today announced the launch of USDPT, its U.S. dollar-denominated payment stablecoin, marking a major milestone in the company’s evolution toward regulated, digital-first financial infrastructure.


Fully backed by U.S. dollars and issued by Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., the first federally regulated crypto bank in the United States, and built on Solana, USDPT is designed to operate within real-world payment systems, combining blockchain-based settlement with Western Union’s global compliance, risk and distribution capabilities.


“USDPT reinforces Western Union’s role as a global payments platform,” said Devin McGranahan, Western Union’s President and CEO. “By integrating a regulated digital dollar directly into our network, we’re creating a more efficient settlement layer that supports partners, agents and future consumer use cases — all while preserving the trust and scale that define our brand.”


Issued by Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. on federally regulated infrastructure and integrated into Western Union’s payment systems, USDPT serves as an always-on settlement asset that operates on Solana’s high-performance blockchain that eliminates the latency and fragmentation of traditional correspondent banking rails.


“Stablecoins have always promised faster, more efficient money movement, but scaling them into real payment networks requires more than technology,” notes Nathan McCauley, Co-Founder and CEO, Anchorage Digital. “It requires regulatory alignment and operational rigor. As a federally chartered bank, we provide that foundation, allowing USDPT to function as trusted, always-on financial infrastructure from day one.”


“Bringing stablecoins into production payment flows requires infrastructure that is both institution-grade and continuously available,” said Lily Liu, President, Solana Foundation. “Solana’s high-throughput, low-latency design enables assets like USDPT to move with the speed and reliability required for real-world financial settlement, supporting global payments without interruption.”


Connecting Digital Assets to Real-World Payments


USDPT is designed to support multiple strategic use cases across Western Union’s ecosystem, reinforcing the company’s long-standing role as a bridge between global financial systems and local access to financial services for its customers.


Western Union is developing the following services to support USDPT:



Global Exchange Support, to make USDPT available for purchase on licensed global virtual currency exchanges.




Digital Asset Network, to connect licensed virtual currency exchanges and custodians to Western Union’s global payout and liquidity infrastructure.




Stable by Western Union, a consumer-facing spend capability launching in 2026 in 40+ countries.




Treasury and Agent Settlement, to enable near-instant, 24/7 settlement with USDPT between Western Union and its global agents. This will allow Western Union to reduce idle balances and deploy liquidity more dynamically across its network.



Together, these applications will extend USDPT from institutional settlement into practical, real-world usage, linking digital value with cash-based and consumer payment experiences.


A Signal for the Future of Payments


The launch of USDPT reflects a broader shift in how global payments are evolving, as established financial institutions adopt regulated digital assets as core infrastructure going forward.


By combining blockchain settlement with one of the world’s most established money movement networks, Western Union is helping shape a future where digital dollars operate at global scale with institutional trust.

Western Union Shares Drop on Earnings Miss Despite Revenue BeatApril 24, 2026 10:20 AM
IH Market News
Shares of Western Union Company (NYSE:WU) fell more than 4% in premarket trading on Friday after the company reported first-quarter earnings below expectations, even as revenue slightly exceeded forecasts.



Earnings Miss Driven by Cost Pressures



Western Union posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.25, missing the $0.39 analyst consensus.Revenue came in at $983 million, ahead of the $965.42 million estimate and broadly flat year-on-year, though down 1% on an adjusted basis.The weaker earnings were attributed to lower fixed cost coverage at company-owned locations, the timing of vendor incentives, higher expenses tied to new partnerships, a significant foreign exchange loss and a higher tax rate.“First quarter results reflect the continued challenges in our Americas retail business as well as a few discrete items affecting the quarter,” said Devin McGranahan. “Looking ahead, the pending acquisition of Intermex is expected to strengthen our retail capabilities in the Americas, our stablecoin launch will modernize our payment systems, and continued investment in our digital channel is preparing us for a more digitally-focused future.”



Segment Performance Mixed



The Consumer Services division delivered strong growth, with revenue rising 24%, or 33% on an adjusted basis, driven by expansion in the Travel Money business and the contribution from the Eurochange Limited acquisition, as well as higher bill payment volumes.Branded Digital revenue increased 9%, or 6% on an adjusted basis, supported by a 21% rise in transactions.However, the Consumer Money Transfer segment saw revenue decline 3% on a reported basis, or 6% when adjusted.



Margins Under Pressure



Operating margin narrowed to 13%, down from 18% in the same period last year. The decline was driven by higher expenses in North America, the absence of vendor incentive payments, increased commissions linked to new agent agreements and foreign exchange impacts.



Outlook Maintained



Western Union reaffirmed its full-year 2026 guidance, forecasting adjusted earnings per share of between $1.75 and $1.85. The midpoint of $1.80 is slightly above the $1.79 consensus estimate.The company also expects adjusted revenue growth in the range of 6% to 9% for the year.Western Union Company stock price

Western Union slips after Q4 revenue falls short of forecastsFebruary 20, 2026 8:34 AM
IH Market News
Western Union Company (NYSE:WU) reported fourth-quarter results that beat earnings expectations but missed on revenue, sending shares down about 2.5% following the release.The payments and money transfer provider posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.45 for the quarter, exceeding the $0.43 analyst consensus. Revenue, however, totaled $1.0 billion — below the $1.04 billion expected by analysts — and declined 5% year over year on both a reported and adjusted basis.The revenue miss was primarily attributed to weaker performance in the Americas retail segment, which outweighed gains in the Consumer Services and Branded Digital businesses.For fiscal 2026, Western Union guided to adjusted EPS in the range of $1.75 to $1.85. The midpoint of $1.80 is modestly above the consensus estimate of $1.79. The company also expects adjusted revenue to grow between 6% and 9% for the full year, assuming the planned acquisition of International Money Express is completed in the second quarter.“Despite a challenging operating environment in 2025, we delivered meaningful progress across the business,” said Devin McGranahan, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We strengthened our Consumer Services offerings, expanded our owned retail footprint, and accelerated our transition to a more digital-first operating model.”Within the Consumer Services segment, revenue increased 26% on an adjusted basis during the quarter, driven in part by the expansion of the Travel Money business and the acquisition of Eurochange Limited. Branded Digital revenue rose 6% on an adjusted basis, with transaction volumes up 13%, accounting for 30% of total Consumer Money Transfer revenue.Adjusted operating margin improved to 20%, up from 17% in the same period last year, reflecting ongoing cost discipline. The board also declared a first-quarter 2026 dividend of $0.235 per share, payable on March 31.Western Union Company stock price

BY Midnight Trader
— 8:56 AM ET 12/18/2013
08:56 AM EST, 12/18/2013 (MT Newswires) -- The Western Union Company (WU) has been upgraded by analysts at Macquarie to Outperform from Neutral.
The price target has been set at $20 a share.
In pre-market trade, shares of WU are up 2.61% to $16.90, and move within a 52-week frame of $13.18 - $19.50.
Price: 16.90, Change: +0.43, Percent Change: +2.61

Would love to get some chatter going from fellow investors.

I increased my position a few days ago @ $16.68 & $16.39.
When we got the pop yesterday I sold 750 sh late in the day @ $16.89. Now I'm holding 1,500 sh.

Hey anyone out there who might read this. I'm totally shocked that a company as huge as WU has had so little interest on this board.

I bought into WU on the 3rd qtr ER. Hold 770 shares @ an avg of $16.95
I think WU is oversold right now and could break $18 in a month.

I'd like to hear feedback from anybody out there. GLTA

Western Union Continues to Expand: Money Transfers Can Now Be Sent From Around the World to Myanmar

Jan 14, 2013 08:00:02 (ET)


ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan 14, 2013 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Western Union Company , a leader in global payment services, today launched Western Union Money Transfer(R) services at six banks in Myanmar, for the first time allowing Myanmarese and residents to receive international money remittances from more than 200 countries and territories in minutes.

In addition to the six banks, Kanbawza Bank, the largest private bank in Myanmar with over 90 locations nation-wide, has signed with Western Union.

A combined network of more than 150 locations representing Co-operative Bank, First Private Bank, Myanma Apex Bank, Myanmar Livestock and Fisheries Development Bank, Myanmar Oriental Bank and United Amara Bank are now connected to Western Union's global network of over 500,000 Agent locations.

Kanbawza's agreement will further expand the Western Union Agent Network to nearly 250 locations in the coming month. Western Union is the first global money transfer operator to sign seven banks after sanctions were eased last year.

"We welcome our first six Bank Agents into the Western Union family. Together, we are delighted to move money into Myanmar, allowing its people to access remittances with speed, reliability and convenience," said Drina Yue, Managing Director and Senior Vice President, Western Union, Asia Pacific.

"In connecting Myanmar with great swiftness, we have furthered our company vision of serving the under-served. For this, we thank the Myanmar government, regulators and our Bank Agents for showing great foresight in facilitating rapid service activation much needed by mostly Myanmar's citizens living and working across the globe," she said.

"International money transfer is an essential service for Myanmarese overseas and their families; it is a vital link to send money for regular financial support, education, medical, gifting on special occasions and other purposes," she said.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

This is becoming my least favorite stock...
We need to see a little forward movement and HOLD IT for a day or 2. Otherwise this one could be removed quickly from my portfolio.

I like to see the CEO out criss crossing the globe reaching out for new prospects but at some point someone has to notice and not sell off any little rallies...

Still excited for now..but growing weary ever day that this is a 13 $ BOW WOW!!!!


GLTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have 6 mo target of 16.00 and 1 yr target of 18.00.

Look forward to a very strong economy on 2013 unless the feds screw it all up.

She going to be a screamer going into Q2.

GL and holding tight here.

Getting close to my strike price of $14.00!

Stock only for now.

If you don't mind me asking, are you playing call options or buying stock outright? I'm holding Dec. 22 $14 calls. Getting interesting...

Nice close today. WU could get jiggy with that gap to fill and fiscal cliff talks...

More dips today more WU in my portfolio.

WOW!!!!

can't wait to do it again tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HO HO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Couldn't stop buying on those nice dips Friday. Look forward to some more on Monday if they so choose.

This is a sweetheart at these prices.

GLTA!!!!!

Someone liked it.. Up 2%.
I watched a video yesterday and the CEO said the fundamentals of the business are on fire. This is a true global cash play. Yes the US has some head winds but they are working on those. The other 2/3 of the world are expanding the business very nicely. I shall hang around for a while.

Also one other article I read indicated the US would pick up since 30% of the people in the US have NO checking account and the only way to transfer money is with WU. LOL I like that too!!!!!

Buy on dips here!!!!

GLTA!

FORM 8K SUMMARY FOR WESTERN UNION CO.

http://biz.yahoo.com/e/121211/wu8-k.html

How will the news today and the coming ex divi date play out in your opinion? Been watching since low $12's for a bounce that hasn't happened yet

This one is just way to interesting to pass up under 13.00
I am coming on board.
GLTM

LOL

WU now 93% institutionally owned. Anyone else enjoying the ride back up?

I could see a Buffett type investor move in here to WU at these prices. This prepaid card deal is HUGE!

Nice news today. Prepaid WU cards at Family Dollar. Also, touched $13.38 pre-market. Get ready!

Perhaps. Ive been doing some initial due diligence here first time and not comfortable with an opinion either way. Appreciate the input though.

They will be back for dividend execution date 12/13/12. The 25% dividend hike plus half a billion additional share buyback program will be MAJOR support for WU. I'm adding more cheap call options here... Election volitilaty could be fun!
