Is it really? I honestly have not yet figured out what the effect, if any, of this is. If WU can now remit payments using its own stablecoin, then that certainly eliminates the commission cost of the front-end cash dealers. But! Usually those remittances are to less tech-savvy places so I am not sure the utility of a stablecoin in the first place. THIS MAKES NO SENSE to me. Someone break it down if they can.

Uhh: DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- "The Western Union Company (“Western Union”) (NYSE: [WU](https://www.stocktitan.net/overview/WU)) today announced its plan to launch U.S. Dollar Payment Token (USDPT), its new stablecoin, and an innovative Digital Asset Network designed to bridge the digital and fiat worlds, enabling real world utility for digital assets. Built on Solana and issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, Western Union aims to launch USDPT, expanding the ways to move money for customers, agents and partners, and to support the company’s treasury capabilities." I haven't used Western Union in my entire life but... doesn't this essentially make them THE Crypto play in basically ALL the emerging markets?! Correct me if I am wrong...
