Meta Corporation has launched payments for content creators in the stablecoin USDC through wallets on the Polygon and Solana networks.
The payment provider is fintech company Stripe. Initially, this new service is available to users in Colombia and the Philippines.
“Since payments in ‘stablecoins’ are linked to digital assets, Stripe will provide you with specialized reports on cryptocurrency transactions. For tax reporting, we recommend keeping a record of all transaction history,” Meta noted.
Media reports indicated that Meta plans to enter the stablecoin market as early as February 2026. In addition to partnering with a third-party provider for dollar token transactions, the tech giant aims to introduce a new wallet.
In 2019, Meta (then Facebook) attempted to launch a “stable global cryptocurrency” called Libra and an asset storage tool named Calibra. However, due to regulatory pressure, these projects were ultimately shelved.
Visa and Stablecoins
Payment system Visa has announced an expansion of its pilot stablecoin project to five new networks: Arc, Base, Canton, Polygon, and Tempo. Previously, only Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, and Stellar were supported, according to a press release.
The company’s volume of transactions in “stablecoins” increased by 50% compared to the previous quarter, reaching $7 billion.
Integrating additional blockchains is part of Visa's strategy to standardize payments within a unified infrastructure, company representatives emphasized.
Testing of stablecoins has been ongoing for several years. Pilot programs are active in Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, Central Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In November 2025, Visa launched payments in USDC through American banks.
On April 28, the payment giant announced a partnership with WeFi, a company founded by former Tether CEO Rive Collins. Together, they will develop cryptocurrency payment solutions.
It’s worth noting that in early April, Chainalysis analysts predicted that the volume of stablecoin transactions could reach $1.5 quadrillion by 2035.
