  "account": "MoneyGram has expanded its Ramps service to integrate with the Solana blockchain, enabling wallets, exchanges, and developers on the network to offer cash-to-crypto and crypto-to-cash conversions. Rift was the first Solana wallet to incorporate the service, allowing users to transfer between cryptocurrencies and local currencies via MoneyGram. The service, which previously operated on Stellar, is now accessible to Solana developers through a unified API. MoneyGram serves over 60 million customers across nearly 500,000 retail locations in more than 170 countries, with the network now available to Solana developers for fiat on- and off-ramp infrastructure. The company aims to make Ramps available across multiple blockchain ecosystems, as it became a Solana validator in June, staking SOL and processing transactions on the network.",
