Meta Corporation has initiated<\/a> payments to content creators in the stablecoin USDC<\/a> via wallets on the Polygon<\/a> and Solana<\/a> networks.<\/p>\n

The payment provider is the fintech company Stripe<\/a>. Initially, this new service is available to users in Colombia and the Philippines.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince settlements in <\/em>\u2018stablecoins\u2019<\/em><\/a> are linked to digital assets, Stripe will provide you with specialized reports on cryptocurrency transactions. For tax reporting, we recommend keeping the entire transaction history,\u201d noted Meta.<\/em><\/p>\n

Media outlets reported<\/a> on Meta’s plans to enter the stablecoin market in February 2026. In addition to connecting a third-party provider for dollar token settlements, the tech giant intends to introduce a new wallet.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Meta (then Facebook) attempted to launch the \u201cstable global cryptocurrency\u201d Libra and the asset storage tool Calibra. However, due to regulatory pressure, the projects had to be abandoned<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Visa and Stablecoins<\/h2>\n

The payment system Visa announced the expansion of its pilot stablecoin project to five new networks: Arc<\/a>, Base<\/a>, Canton, Polygon, and Tempo. Previously, only Avalanche<\/a>, Ethereum, Solana, and Stellar were supported, according to a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company’s volume of settlements in \u201cstablecoins\u201d increased by 50% compared to the previous quarter \u2014 reaching $7 billion.<\/p>\n

The integration of additional blockchains is part of Visa’s strategy to standardize payments within a unified infrastructure, company representatives emphasized.<\/p>\n

Stablecoin testing has been underway for several years<\/a>. Pilots are operating in Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, Central Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In November 2025, Visa launched<\/a> USDC payments through American banks.<\/p>\n

On April 28, the payment giant announced<\/a> a partnership with WeFi \u2014 a company founded by former Tether CEO Reeve Collins. Together, they will develop cryptocurrency payments.<\/p>\n

Earlier in April, Chainalysis analysts forecasted<\/a> that the volume of stablecoin transactions would grow to $1.5 quadrillion by 2035.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
