MoneyGram is undergoing a major transformation, moving beyond its traditional remittance roots to become a more open, connected and technology driven financial network. In this conversation, MoneyGram CEO and Chairman Anthony Soohoo shares how the company is rethinking its future and building the infrastructure needed for the digital economy.
Anthony Soohoo discusses MoneyGram’s partnership with Solana, including its role as a validator and the company’s plans to open its network to Solana developers through its API. He explains how this could connect digital applications to MoneyGram’s 500,000 retail locations around the world and bridge the gap between physical and digital finance.
The conversation also explores MGI USD, MoneyGram’s stablecoin, and why the company believes owning its own digital currency infrastructure can create greater utility for customers. Anthony also shares his perspective on blockchain, instant global payments and the role generative AI could play in financial services, particularly when it comes to trust, authorization and moving money in real time.
