Visa to use Western Union's USDPT for stablecoin settlement through Anchorage
Anchorage Digital's federally chartered bank would let selected tokens, including Western Union's USDPT, settle inside the card network
Key takeaways
- Anchorage Digital is working with Visa on stablecoin settlement inside the Visa network.
- Western Union's USDPT is named among the stablecoins covered by the arrangement.
- The tokens come from Anchorage's federally regulated bank, according to the reports.
- No fees, volumes, eligible-token list or start date were published.
Settlement inside the Visa network
Anchorage Digital is working with Visa so that selected stablecoins issued by its federally regulated bank can be used as a native settlement asset in the Visa network, Bitcoin.com News reported on 13 November 2026. Western Union's stablecoin USDPT is among the tokens covered by the arrangement.
The reports describe the setup as settlement rather than consumer payment: the stablecoins would move value between parties in the Visa system, not replace card payments at the checkout. Neither Visa nor Anchorage Digital published the terms, the list of eligible tokens or a start date in the material available.
What the reports leave open
The two Bitcoin.com News editions, in Vietnamese and German, give the same core fact but no figures: no volume, no fee schedule and no timeline. It is not stated which other stablecoins besides USDPT qualify, or whether the arrangement is live or still being built.
Western Union has not commented in the reports on how USDPT would be used in settlement or what backing the token has. Anchorage Digital's bank operates under a federal charter, which the reports cite as the reason its stablecoins can be considered for this role.
