Bridging Digital Assets and Local Currencies
summary
MoneyGram and Stellar connect wallets to MoneyGram’s retail agent network so cash converts to USDC and back; a pilot is live using the Lobster wallet with Circle for on‑ramps, Elliptic for chain analysis, and an adapter linking wallets to MoneyGram APIs. Integration takes ~2.5 months, settlements arrive near real time while consumers see cash in/cash out in ~5 seconds, KYC ties wallets to IDs for compliance, rollout targets cash‑out in 200+ countries and cash‑in in 11 countries next year.
