PANews reported on December 9th, citing Cointelegraph, that Strategy founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor is pushing governments to develop Bitcoin-backed digital banking systems that offer high-yield, low-volatility accounts capable of attracting trillions of dollars in deposits. Speaking at the Bitcoin MENA event in Abu Dhabi, Saylor stated that countries could utilize overcollateralized Bitcoin reserves and tokenized credit instruments to create regulated digital bank accounts with higher yields than traditional deposits. Saylor points out that bank deposits in Japan, Europe, and Switzerland offer virtually no returns, while euro money market funds yield around 150 basis points and US money market rates approach 400 basis points, explaining why investors are turning to the corporate bond market. Saylor outlines a structure where digital credit facilities comprise about 80% of the fund, paired with 20% fiat currency, and further buffered with a 10% reserve margin to mitigate volatility. If such a product were offered through regulated banks, depositors could deposit billions of dollars with institutions for higher returns. He states that the account would be backed by 5:1 overcollateralized digital credit held by a fiscal entity. Saylor claims that countries offering such accounts could attract “$20 trillion or $50 trillion” in capital inflows.PANews reported on December 9th, citing Cointelegraph, that Strategy founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor is pushing governments to develop Bitcoin-backed digital banking systems that offer high-yield, low-volatility accounts capable of attracting trillions of dollars in deposits.

MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia

MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia

The post MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MoneyGram has launched a new mobile application in Colombia that uses USD-pegged stablecoins to modernize cross-border remittances. According to an announcement on Wednesday, the app allows customers to receive money instantly into a US dollar balance backed by Circle’s USDC stablecoin, which can be stored, spent, or cashed out through MoneyGram’s global retail network. The rollout is designed to address the volatility of local currencies, particularly the Colombian peso. Built on the Stellar blockchain and supported by wallet infrastructure provider Crossmint, the app marks MoneyGram’s most significant move yet to integrate stablecoins into consumer-facing services. Colombia was selected as the first market due to its heavy reliance on inbound remittances—families in the country receive more than 22 times the amount they send abroad, according to Statista. The announcement said future expansions will target other remittance-heavy markets. MoneyGram, which has nearly 500,000 retail locations globally, has experimented with blockchain rails since partnering with the Stellar Development Foundation in 2021. It has since built cash on and off ramps for stablecoins, developed APIs for crypto integration, and incorporated stablecoins into its internal settlement processes. “This launch is the first step toward a world where every person, everywhere, has access to dollar stablecoins,” CEO Anthony Soohoo stated. The company emphasized compliance, citing decades of regulatory experience, though stablecoin oversight remains fluid. The US Congress passed the GENIUS Act earlier this year, establishing a framework for stablecoin regulation, which MoneyGram has pointed to as providing clearer guardrails.
