Specifically, the mentioned partnership will now allow MoneyGram to empower customers to send USDC and convert the stablecoin into fiat. Hence, this will enable full stablecoin access across all countries where MoneyGram is available.

The news rocked the crypto space, with people quoting MoneyGram CEO Alexander Holmes after he made favorable statements that mentioned El Salvador.

In detail, Holmes said: 

If a country like El Salvador is going to make Bitcoin seamless with US dollars in country, I think that consumers, through MoneyGram, should be able to transfer Bitcoin to El Salvador or transfer dollars and convert them to Bitcoin. If that’s where the world is going, let’s participate in that world, and let’s see how we can help fulfill that opportunity.

Amid the recent buzz, USDC has now become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, with BNB trailing at its heels.

At the time of writing, USDC has a market cap of $53.811 billion, while BNB has $52.860 billion. Meanwhile, the combined market capitalization of the crypto space is at $1.331 trillion.
