Language: English. A digital dollar passes the corner shop test when a customer can spend it at a local shop or collect it as cash. Western Union's Stablecard, built on Rain and live in 37 markets, does both. Malcolm Clarke of Western Union and Fermín Cifuentes of Rain walk through what it took to get there and what banks should know before launching their own stablecoin products.
