Talking Tokens: Crypto, Onchain Finance, Investing · Why MoneyGram Built Its Own Stablecoin Instead of Using Someone Else's | Anthony Soohoo, MoneyGram · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

I'll give you an example.

I think when you think about travel,

putting stablecoin and smart contracts associated with an Airbnb or whatever you're renting, make sure that when you show up, the place you rented looks exactly like the image you have.

Actually makes a lot of sense.

And a lot of times right now, when you get caught in those cases, you really depend on

I don't know, the credit card companies to say, yes, they are the arbiter when there's a dispute.

What if both sides agreed to the contract and then the funds get released out of escrow based on what was agreed to?

Would that actually be a more cost effective way to do that in the future and a more seamless way?

Because those things are built into an app.

I think that those are all possibilities that will play itself out and why kind of going back to MGUSD, we're excited about having, pulling this intelligence into our network, building things on top for those reasons.

Yeah, I think when we were thinking about all the regulatory and compliance complexities around the world, rolling this stuff out in each local market and from a sheer scale perspective, we thought the best path with the best power in the hand was to put this really in the hands of our customers.

And what that meant was a education process.

And, you know, we have plans to educate them and there will be a lot of communication we're going to have to go through as part of this process.

But we think that it is allows is probably the best model for us to be able to scale this framework as globally as we want to and as quick of a time if it really does take off.

But there is this onus that we have to

educate the customers that we deal with to make sure that they understand that they are operating at a stable point and how they want to manage it.

I started my career at Apple, so I am all about hiding the complexity from our consumers as much as possible.

But we also want to, you know, the balance of that, obviously, the responsible thing is to abstract the complexities, but understand what they're signing up for.

And I think that's the balance we would be working towards.

We want to get away from a lot of the terminologies, I think, that the industry has put out there and really explained it in plain, simple language.
