Stellar Network gibt Investition in MoneyGram bekannt
- Stellar Network und MoneyGram haben bereits eine Partnerschaft geschlossen, um Blockchain-Zahlungen zu verbessern.
- The investment in MoneyGram also gives SDF a seat on MoneyGram’s board of directors.
Die Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), das Unternehmen hinter dem Stellar Network, hat in MoneyGram International investiert. SDF sagte in einer Erklärung am Dienstag, dass es Mittel aus seinem eigenen Kassenbestand investiert habe, um Minderheitsaktionär von MoneyGram zu werden.
Today’s news expands on an ongoing partnership between SDF and MoneyGram. Both companies previously collaborated to promote cryptocurrency payments and introduce a cash-to-crypto service.
Commenting on SDF’s investment in MoneyGram, SDF CEO, and Executive Director Denelle Dixon said in a Aussage:
During the recent go-private transaction with Madison Dearborn Partners (MDP), SDF became a minority investor in MGI. The investment was made out of SDF’s own cash treasury, the assets set aside to support the operations of the SDF, rather than the Enterprise Fund, a fund to invest in startups and earlier-stage companies. It is the first investment of its kind made from SDF’s treasury.
Dixon further noted that the investment would support the growth of MoneyGram’s digital businesses and also provide SDF with a seat on MoneyGram’s board of directors.
Dixon also hailed Stellar’s partnership with MoneyGram as one of the reasons for the growth of the XLM ecosystem. In a Twitter post, the Stellar executive claimed the Stellar network became the “leader of cash-to-crypto on and off-ramps” thanks to its partnership with MoneyGram. She added that MoneyGram’s contribution to Steller’s growth made it an “easy” choice to invest in the payment company.
