Western Union will launch a payment card that supports stablecoin pre-recharge, mainly for markets in high-inflation economies

According to Foresight News, according to Criptonoticias, international remittance giant Western Union announced that it will issue payment cards that support stablecoin pre-recharge. At this stage, it is mainly targeted at countries and regions with severe inflation, aiming to further expand its strategy of integrating digital assets into payment services. Matthew Cagwin, chief financial officer of Western Union, said that the payment card mainly provides greater stability for purchasing power, especially in economies with significant currency devaluation, such as Argentina, where inflation exceeded 200% last year. The U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoin card helps remittance recipients better preserve value. Previously, Western Union also revealed that it is still preparing to launch the U.S. dollar payment token USDPT, a stablecoin issued by Anchorage Digital on the Solana network, planned to be launched in 2026.
