After publishing its quarterly report the other day, global remittance behemoth MoneyGram has seen its stock price soar 26.28 percent within just one dayfrom $4.80 to $5.80 on Nasdaq.

One of the key drivers for the share price here is likely the fact that another recent cash injection from the Ripple fintech giant was revealed in the report.

The blockchain decacorn led by Brad Garlinghouse transacted $9.3 mln to MoneyGram as part of their partnership.

According to the report, MoneyGram referred to this money as "market development fees."
