Crypto Update: MoneyGram Puts Stablecoins on Visa Cards and Pepeto Gives Early Buyers What Big Coins Cannot

Every crypto update this week points in one direction. MoneyGram launched a Visa card on September 10 that lets people spend USDC at any store that takes Visa, starting in Colombia per Yahoo Finance. The card draws from a stablecoin wallet, not a bank. That means a person can get dollars, hold them as crypto, and pay for food without a bank. When an 85 year old payments giant goes all in on stablecoins, the question is not if crypto goes bigger. The question is how fast.

That speed matters for anyone reading this crypto update and asking where to put capital before the next move. Pepeto (

) is a presale backed by 163% staking rewards, a live exchange, and over $10.9 million in the presale, while most tokens sit flat.

How Did MoneyGram Turn Stablecoins Into Daily Spending?

MoneyGram built the card with USDC and plans to add its own MGUSD stablecoin next, per CoinTurk. The tech runs on the Stellar chain with help from Rain and Crossmint. People sign up in the app, load USDC, and tap to pay at any Visa spot. A card for ATM use comes later in 2026, per Parameter.
