- Under terms of the agreement that was put on hold and is now ending, Ripple had been paying MoneyGram to use the XRP token in international settlement since 2019 and first engaging in a pilot agreement with the service in 2018.

- Shares of MoneyGram dropped in after-hours trading, down 7%.
- The agreement was put on hold after U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued Ripple saying XRP is an unregistered security in violation of U.S. investments law. Ripple is fighting those assertions.
- Ripple said the two sides are "committed" to revisiting their relationship in the future.
This story is developing and will be updated.
