Visa se asocia con Anchorage Digital para el pago con USDPT
El 12 de noviembre, Anchorage Digital anunció que algunas de las monedas estables emitidas por el banco, autorizadas a nivel federal, ahora son activos aptos para el pago. Este nuevo acuerdo cubre el token USDPT, el primer token respaldado por Western Union.
Las empresas también implementarán un proceso para revisar otras monedas estables emitidas en la región de Anchorage, con el objetivo de lanzarlas a través del sistema de pagos de Visa. Sin embargo, aún no han anunciado un calendario para agregar más tokens ni para expandir su colaboración con otros socios.
“Para que las instituciones puedan adoptar estas monedas estables, necesitan una infraestructura financiera regulada y transacciones más rápidas en la cadena de bloques”, dijo Nathan McCauley, presidente y CEO de Anchorage Digital. Él afirmó que, para que el uso de monedas estables se generalice a gran escala, los emisores deben estar supervisados a nivel federal.
Este acuerdo amplía los servicios actuales de pago con monedas estables ofrecidos por Visa, como el lanzamiento en octubre del pré-financiamiento con USDC para los pagos mediante Visa Direct.
La moneda estable USDPT de Western Union funciona sobre la plataforma Solana
Western Union lanzó el token USDPT en mayo de 2026, seleccionando a Anchorage Digital Bank como emisor autorizado y a Solana como red de cadena de bloques. Fireblocks desarrolló el monedero y los sistemas de pago para este activo digital.
El token respaldado por el dólar se introdujo por primera vez en Filipinas y Bolivia para liquidaciones institucionales y transacciones transfronterizas. Western Union implementará el USDPT en toda su red de pagos global, que abarca más de 200 países y territorios.
La empresa también lanzó Stablecard, que permite a los clientes mantener USDPT y realizar transacciones a través de canales de pago Visa. El producto está disponible en 37 mercados inicialmente y se expandirá a más de 60.
La expansión de la moneda estable de Western Union en Solana también incluye infraestructura que conecta billeteras digitales con pagos en efectivo tradicionales.
Visa amplía los servicios de liquidación con monedas estables a través de redes blockchain.
El último acuerdo de Visa continúa con su expansión en servicios de liquidación institucionales basados en blockchain. La compañía agregó recientemente Monad a sus redes compatibles, junto con Canton, Base, Tempo y otras plataformas blockchain.
En septiembre, Visa informó que su tasa anualizada de liquidación con monedas estables había alcanzado los 20 mil millones de dólares, lo que representa un crecimiento de más de quince veces en comparación con el año anterior.
Mientras tanto, Anchorage Digital continúa expandiendo sus servicios de monedas estables para instituciones, más allá de la emisión de tokens. El banco también respalda activos relacionados con Tether, OSL Group, Ethena Labs, Falcon Finance y Zelle.
Anchorage señaló que su alianza con Visa apoya su objetivo de convertirse en un banco de liquidación para transacciones de monedas estables a nivel institucional. Las empresas no han revelado los volúmenes esperados de liquidación con USDPT ni el número de socios que podrán utilizar el servicio.
