Personally I think, all well-known and widely-used banking systems, exchanges and other institutions which work with money, need to be changed in order not to be old-fashioned.
Cryptocurrency transforms a lot. So Western Unions needs to be developed too.

That would be a wonderful game changer for crypto; it would build more trust to take crypto mainstream; I hope they pull it off
I also agree with you because this will be a very interesting development for crypto and shows that it is growing and will become globally accepted soon. but I think the western union are more interested in the blockchain.

Let see on what will happen and what they have to do with it, for sure    it will more interesting not just for blockchain only it also in crypto.

Western union realized they are on verge of extinction and this is the only way for them to survive. If they still tried to rob people for their service, people would have a lot of other services to choose from. By the time western union adapts it, there would already be a number of large crypto companies in the field.

If this is true then a good financial services and communications company will join the cryptocurrency and it will surely put more investors to the market. I just wish that what they are doing would not be centralized but we can rest assured that if they get into the crypto industry their platform will be must more regulated and with good financial offerings.

From what I understand they could use a blockchain, a Bitcoin like network to transfer some information securely.
They will not convert the fiat into Bitcoin and back or such, they very likely will not interact with Bitcoin at all.
However, Blockchain leads the innovation nowadays, whether the patent will be actually used or not.

Not surprised at all. They are a financial service so it is only normal that they are getting into anything that has to do with the transaction of money. If a company like western union that is used all across the world, confirms their involvement in cryptos that would mean that a lot more people around the world will start to trust crypto more. This is good news.

they saw how they are losing the market to a real currency (bitcoin) which people have been eyeing for sometime now and they are now afraid that they can lose considerable amount of revenue to bitcoin as more people start using it. so they want to use the crypto hype to their own advantage and save their business.
