[Western Union Applies for 'WAmericaD' Trademark, Potentially Expanding Cryptocurrency Services] Western Union recently submitted a trademark application for 'WAmericaD' to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, indicating plans to launch services covering cryptocurrency wallets, cryptocurrency trading, and stablecoin payment processing. The application documents reveal that the WAmericaD trademark involves stablecoin exchange, trading, and payment processing, while potentially supporting broader cryptocurrency services, including software for managing and verifying transactions, cryptocurrency exchanges, and financial brokerage services. Additionally, the documents mention cryptocurrency lending, as well as securities and derivatives trading, which significantly differ from Western Union's traditional business operations. Notably, in early October, Western Union also filed a trademark application related to its planned stablecoin USDPT, which is set to launch on the Solana blockchain in 2026. It remains unclear what specific distinctions exist between WAmericaD and USDPT. The WAmericaD trademark application has been accepted but has not yet been assigned to an examiner.
