USDPT: what it is and what can be measured
Stablecoin backed by currency reserves, issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, for Western Union.
Western Union's own dollar token, issued by a federally regulated US bank and running on Solana. It is used first for settling with its agents rather than as something a customer holds.
How much exists
18.76 million USDPT in existence worldwide, Read 1 hour ago, read from the issuer's own contracts.
Mostly on solana (100%).
This counts USDPT everywhere in the world. A public blockchain does not record which country a holder is in, so 20kobo cannot tell you how much of this is Nigerian, and does not guess.
Why a Nigerian investor might care
Western Union pays out across Nigeria. If its agent settlement moves onto this token, the rails behind a cash pickup in Lagos change even though nothing a sender sees does.
