MoneyGram breaks up with Ripple

As reported by U.Today earlier this week, Ripple fintech giant has officially ended its partnership with MoneyGram remittance behemoth that began in 2019.

In February, the San Francisco-based MoneyGram suspended trading on the Ripple-provided platform over the lawsuit initiated by the U.S. regulator, the SEC, against Ripple in late December.

According to earlier media reports, Ripple was the biggest MoneyGram shareholder and, in late November of last year, it sold around 33 percent of MoneyGram stocks (MGI).
