Western Union has filed a U.S. trademark for “WUUSD,” just a day after revealing its plan to introduce a stablecoin called USDPT on the Solana blockchain. The filing, dated October 29 under serial number 99468604, covers downloadable cryptocurrency wallet software, payment processing tools, trading, and exchange services. It was submitted by Western Union Holdings Inc. and is currently marked as “awaiting examination.”
Trademark Hints at Broader Digital Asset Strategy
According to Coinpaper report, Western Union said it plans to roll out USDPT in early 2026. The company aims to leverage blockchain technology to make global transactions faster and cheaper for retail and business users. Consequently, the introduction of WUUSD could serve as a parallel brand, possibly tailored toward everyday consumers rather than enterprise clients.
Besides branding considerations, Western Union’s trademark move signals growing intent to expand its blockchain footprint. The company joins a growing list of financial firms seeking regulatory clarity before scaling stablecoin products in the U.S. market.
Solana Price Pulls Back but Holds Key Support
While Western Union makes strides on Solana, the network’s native token, SOL, has seen notable volatility. As of press time, Solana was trading at $185.41, marking a 5.19% decline over the past 24 hours. Its seven-day loss stood at 2.24%, with total market capitalization around $101.9 billion.

Despite the correction, market watchers remain optimistic. According to crypto analyst BitGuru, SOL is holding a strong support zone and showing signs of a potential rebound. If buying pressure builds, a breakout above resistance could push the price toward $210–$225.
BitGuru added that market momentum is gradually rebuilding and that a “single strong move” could reignite bullish sentiment across Solana’s ecosystem. Hence, traders are closely monitoring on-chain metrics and institutional flows for signs of renewed upward momentum.
