PANews reported on March 15 that, according to The Block, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has formally dismissed its civil enforcement lawsuit against BitClout and DeSo founder Nader Al-Naji and six other defendants, and prohibits them from filing the same lawsuit again, based on a joint agreement filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) initially sued Al-Naji in July 2024, accusing him of raising over $257 million by selling the native token of BitClout, a blockchain-based social media platform, through unregistered means, promising investors that the funds would not be used to compensate him personally. The SEC alleges that he used over $7 million for personal expenses, including paying rent for his Beverly Hills mansion and giving cash gifts to family members. Al-Naji's wife, mother, and several related entities were also named as co-defendants.

MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia

The post MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MoneyGram has launched a new mobile application in Colombia that uses USD-pegged stablecoins to modernize cross-border remittances. According to an announcement on Wednesday, the app allows customers to receive money instantly into a US dollar balance backed by Circle’s USDC stablecoin, which can be stored, spent, or cashed out through MoneyGram’s global retail network. The rollout is designed to address the volatility of local currencies, particularly the Colombian peso. Built on the Stellar blockchain and supported by wallet infrastructure provider Crossmint, the app marks MoneyGram’s most significant move yet to integrate stablecoins into consumer-facing services. Colombia was selected as the first market due to its heavy reliance on inbound remittances—families in the country receive more than 22 times the amount they send abroad, according to Statista. The announcement said future expansions will target other remittance-heavy markets. MoneyGram, which has nearly 500,000 retail locations globally, has experimented with blockchain rails since partnering with the Stellar Development Foundation in 2021. It has since built cash on and off ramps for stablecoins, developed APIs for crypto integration, and incorporated stablecoins into its internal settlement processes. “This launch is the first step toward a world where every person, everywhere, has access to dollar stablecoins,” CEO Anthony Soohoo stated. The company emphasized compliance, citing decades of regulatory experience, though stablecoin oversight remains fluid. The US Congress passed the GENIUS Act earlier this year, establishing a framework for stablecoin regulation, which MoneyGram has pointed to as providing clearer guardrails.
