Here’s some more information about this asset**:**
U.S. Dollar Payment Token (USDPT)
U.S. Dollar Payment Token (USDPT) is a USD-pegged stablecoin issued on the Solana blockchain by Western Union in partnership with Anchorage Digital Bank, a federally chartered crypto bank. USDPT functions as a payment token designed to facilitate real-time, low-cost global remittances and treasury operations within Western Union’s existing network of over 400,000 agents worldwide.
USDPT enables just-in-time liquidity provisioning to agents, reducing pre-funding requirements and settlement times from days to seconds. It integrates with agent wallets for cash payouts and Digital Asset Network (DAN) partners for on-ramps and off-ramps, bridging traditional cash networks with blockchain rails. The primary utility is efficient cross-border disbursements, treasury float optimization, and 24/7 money movement across Western Union entities and global bank/FI partners.
Please note:
- Trading via Kraken App and Instant Buy will be available once the liquidity conditions are met (when a sufficient number of buyers and sellers have entered the market for their orders to be efficiently matched).
- Geographic restrictions may apply
Will Kraken make more assets available?
Yes! But our policy is to never reveal any details until shortly before launch – including which assets we are considering. All of Kraken’s available tokens can be found here, and all future tokens will be announced on our Listings Roadmap and social media profiles. Our client engagement specialists cannot answer any questions about which assets we may be making available in the future.
