Crypto bank Anchorage partners with Grupo Salinas, owned by Mexican billionaire, to provide a stablecoin payment track for the US dollar.

Huoxun Finance reports that Anchorage Digital, a US-based federally chartered crypto bank, has partnered with Grupo Salinas, a company controlled by Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego, to provide a stablecoin payment track for US dollars and optimize the efficiency of cross-border US dollar settlements. Grupo Salinas will integrate Anchorage's stablecoin infrastructure through its crypto business Coinpro, shortening settlement cycles and adding programmable, real-time settlement capabilities. Grupo Salinas also controls Banco Azteca, whose head, Salinas, has long been a public supporter of Bitcoin. Anchorage Digital CEO Nathan McCauley stated that stablecoins are transforming from trading tools into core financial infrastructure. Previously, Western Union also announced the launch of a US dollar stablecoin issued by Anchorage Digital on the Solana blockchain.
