Western Union has filed a trademark application for "WUUSD" with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, suggesting a potential entry into cryptocurrency services. The trademark, accepted but not yet examined, covers a wide range of services including cryptocurrency wallets, trading, and stablecoin payment processing. This move follows a similar application for "USDPT" earlier this month, raising questions about the distinction between the two.
The WUUSD trademark indicates plans for stablecoin exchange, trading, and payment processing, alongside broader cryptocurrency services such as transaction management software and financial brokerage. Notably, the application also mentions cryptocurrency lending and securities trading, marking a significant shift from Western Union's traditional operations. The company previously announced plans to launch the USDPT stablecoin on the Solana blockchain in 2026.
