MoneyGram Expands Crypto-to-Cash Service on Solana Blockchain

MoneyGram has expanded its cryptocurrency-to-cash service to include the Solana blockchain. This move enables users to convert digital assets into cash at thousands of locations worldwide, marking a significant step in bridging traditional remittance networks with decentralized finance.

The integration leverages Solana's high-speed and low-cost infrastructure to facilitate real-time payouts. Users can send crypto from any Solana-compatible wallet and have the recipient pick up cash at any of MoneyGram's 200,000+ agent locations globally.

Transactions are processed through MoneyGram's partnership with Paxos, which handles the conversion of digital assets to fiat currency. This integration builds on MoneyGram's existing crypto services, but Solana brings faster settlement times and lower transaction fees, making it particularly suitable for smaller-value remittances.
