A Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), que é a empresa por trás da Stellar Network, investiu na MoneyGram International. A SDF disse em comunicado na terça-feira que investiu fundos de seu próprio caixa para se tornar acionista minoritário da 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 declaração:

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.

A decisão de investir em @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 é uma das listas crescentes de projetos de criptografia usando blockchain para promover transações transfronteiriças mais rápidas. Sua criptomoeda XLM está atualmente em 22º lugar em termos de capitalização de mercado.
