According to Bloomberg<\/a>,<\/em> the Stellar<\/a> Development Foundation, together with private equity firm Advent International, have expressed interest in a takeover of MoneyGram International Inc.<\/p>\n

Stellar and MoneyGram, a match made in heaven?<\/h2>\n

MoneyGram<\/a> is a Nasdaq-listed wire transfer company that was originally formed in 1940. Its global money service extends to every (populated) continent. The firm has carved out a reputation for fast, reliable, and reasonably priced money transfer services.<\/p>\n

Although the firm deals primarily with fiat money, it has flirted with cryptocurrency in the past. First, in leveraging Ripple's xRapid<\/a> cross-border liquidity solution in 2019, which later fizzled out. And more recently, partnering with ATM firm CoinMe<\/a> to provide Bitcoin ramping solutions.<\/p>\n

Given that Stellar launched in July 2014 as the result of a hard fork from the Ripple protocol, comparisons between the two are often drawn.<\/p>\n

However, Stellar Co-founder Jed McCaleb<\/a> points out that significant changes to the consensus code were made, making them completely different products.<\/p>\n

The Stellar Consensus Protocol<\/a> is described as a \u201cfederated Byzantine agreement system\u201d enabling decentralized, leaderless computing networks to reach a consensus.<\/p>\n

A Byzantine<\/a> agreement system is tolerant of “Byzantine” faults, which refers to nodes that give false information. This may be due to error or even a deliberate system attack. Either way, this method enables a network to continue operating even if some of the nodes fail or act maliciously.<\/p>\n

Whereas Ripple's consensus mechanism<\/a> relies on voting, with more than 80% of nodes agreeing to each transaction before it forms a ledger entry.<\/p>\n

Stellar<\/a> aims to empower everyday people by creating fair access to the global financial system. Unlike Ripple, which tends to focus on banks and financial institutions.<\/p>\n

“SDF and Stellar seek to unlock the world\u2019s economic potential by making money more fluid, markets more open, and people more empowered.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although there are obvious complementary facets between Stellar and MoneyGram, a takeover is not confirmed at this point. Bloomberg says Stellar and Advent could choose to opt out.<\/p>\n

MoneyGram and Ripple part ways<\/h2>\n

In 2019, Ripple<\/a> bought a $30 million stake in MoneyGram. The deal also meant MoneyGram would use Ripple products for cross-border payment solutions and foreign exchange settlement.<\/p>\n

However, feeling the heat from regulators over Ripple's alleged breach of securities law, the two parted ways in March this year, with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse<\/a> saying he's committed to revisiting the partnership at some future point.<\/p>\n

This time was a difficult period for Ripple as a number of key partners were jumping ship to avoid being caught up in the SEC lawsuit.<\/p>\n

Although the SEC vs. Ripple case is still ongoing, Ripple's legal team has made a convincing challenge to the allegations. So much so that Forbes<\/a><\/em> chimed in with an article titled “In The Ripple Case, The SEC Is Now On Trial \u2013 And Knows It.”<\/p>\n

In any case, with Stellar now circling around MoneyGram, perhaps Ripple has lost this alliance for good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
