Meta is quietly gearing up to roll out stablecoin payments in the second half of 2026.
This time Mark isn't bothering with his own token (lessons from Libra/Diem apparently learned). Instead they're building everything through a crypto wallet + third-party provider.
Prime candidate: Stripe, who conveniently acquired Bridge — a major stablecoin infrastructure player.
In 2019 Meta tried to revolutionize money with Libra (later Diem). Regulators slapped it down hard and forced them to shut it down.
Now the plan is smarter: take existing stablecoins, plug them into WhatsApp/Instagram/Facebook, and quietly collect fees 😏
What do you think — Meta finally learned from Libra fail and will succeed this time, or regulators will crush it again?
