MoneyGram Joins Solana as Validator, Deepening Commitment to Blockchain Infrastructure
The remittance firm will help secure Solana’s proof-of-stake network as it expands stablecoin-based payment services.
- On Monday, June 22, 2026, MoneyGram announced it has become an active validator on the Solana network, contributing directly to the security, integrity and performance of the blockchain.
- The firm has spent over five years integrating blockchain into its payments infrastructure, and CEO Anthony Soohoo said engaging with Solana is the natural next step in that journey.
- MoneyGram also joined the Solana Developer Platform to design and scale compliant financial products, while Chief Product and Technology Officer Luke Tuttle noted that running a validator puts the firm inside Solana's consensus.
- Alongside institutions like Mastercard, MoneyGram joins as an early adopter helping shape institutional blockchain infrastructure, Sheraz Shere, General Manager of Payments and Commerce at the Solana Foundation, said.
- This move follows MoneyGram's recent launch of its MGUSD stablecoin on Stellar through a partnership with Stripe-owned Bridge, and the company's role as an anchor validator for payments-focused blockchain Tempo.
