La Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), qui est la société derrière le Stellar Network, a investi dans MoneyGram International. SDF a déclaré mardi dans un communiqué avoir investi des fonds de sa propre trésorerie pour devenir un actionnaire minoritaire de MoneyGram.

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 déclaration:

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.

La décision d'investir dans @MoneyGram was an easy one. After years of getting to know the business and the teams, we are excited to take part in MGI’s next chapter. It’s been an awesome few years working together, and we are excited for what’s next!https://t.co/PYAKHeXRxx

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.

Stellar est l'une des listes croissantes de projets de cryptographie utilisant la blockchain pour promouvoir transactions transfrontalières plus rapides. Sa crypto-monnaie XLM est actuellement classée 22e en termes de capitalisation boursière.
