De Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), het bedrijf achter het Stellar Network, heeft geïnvesteerd in MoneyGram International. SDF zei dinsdag in een verklaring dat het geld uit zijn eigen schatkist heeft geïnvesteerd om minderheidsaandeelhouder te worden in 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 uitspraak:

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.

De beslissing om in te investeren @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 is een van de groeiende lijsten met cryptoprojecten die blockchain gebruiken promoten snellere grensoverschrijdende transacties. De XLM-cryptocurrency staat momenteel op de 22e plaats in termen van marktkapitalisatie.
