Reimagined app and website bring digital money movement, stablecoin-powered functionality and MoneyGram's global cash network together in one place
MoneyGram launched the MoneyGram Card, a stablecoin-backed card designed to serve eligible customers worldwide. The card gives customers more freedom and flexibility with their money: the ability to hold a stable-dollar balance, access cash when they need it, or spend anywhere Visa is accepted, online, in stores and across borders.
MoneyGram announced that MoneyGram Ramps (Ramps) is now live on Solana, making its global cash and digital network available across multiple blockchain ecosystems as the company continues building an open, interoperable payments network.
MoneyGram announced it had launched its own U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin on the Stellar blockchain. The stablecoin, dubbed MGUSD, will be embedded into the MoneyGram app, allowing customers to hold a dollar-denominated balance in a self-custodial wallet and transfer funds through the company's global payments network.
In this episode of Money Code, hosts Chuk Okpalugo and Raj Parekh sit down with Anthony Soohoo, Chairman and CEO of MoneyGram, who joined the company to refound its 85-year-old network for the stablecoin and AI era. They unpack how MoneyGram's network of 500,000 retail locations across 200 countries is becoming an API layer for stablecoins, why "cash is our inventory" reframes treasury for the blockchain era, and why building this kind of regulated footprint takes "three or four decades" to map the world.
MoneyGram CEO Anthony Soohoo joins Dani Burger on Bloomberg Open Interest to talk about why cash still dominates globally despite the crypto boom. He reveals how MoneyGram’s 500,000 retail locations give it a unique edge. Plus, why the company’s Kraken partnership could reshape crypto spending worldwide.
Someone taped a scarf to the wall earlier that morning. A pot of food sits untouched on the counter because nobody wants to miss kickoff. Phones light up every few seconds with messages from cousins, siblings, and parents watching somewhere else entirely.
For families living across borders, Children’s Day can hold a lot inside it. Pride. Homesickness. Excitement. The feeling of wanting to be there in person and finding other ways to show up instead.
Some gifts don’t come in a box or with a card. There’s no ribbon to untie. But this Mother’s Day, she has relief and she feels it right away.
