Meta<\/a> is exploring stablecoin-based payment infrastructure in a renewed effort to integrate blockchain technology into its platforms, Fortune reported on May 8, citing people familiar with the matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the report, the tech giant is in preliminary discussions with multiple crypto firms to evaluate stablecoins as a mechanism for managing cross-border payouts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The discussions involve use cases like creator payouts through Instagram, where stablecoins could offer a low-fee alternative to fiat-based transfers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to one executive from a crypto infrastructure firm, Meta is currently in “learn mode” and is not yet committed to a specific stablecoin provider.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company declined to comment on the matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Previous attempt<\/h2>\n

Meta's latest effort follows its high-profile but unsuccessful attempt to launch a stablecoin in 2019 under Project <\/span>Libra, which was later renamed to Diem. The initiative was designed to support a global payments network backed by a basket of fiat currencies. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, the project ended due to regulatory pressure from US lawmakers, and Silvergate Bank bought Diem's assets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ginger Baker, who joined the company in January as vice president of product, is reportedly leading Meta's new stablecoin venture.\u00a0<\/span>Baker has previous experience in fintech through roles at Plaid and currently sits on the board of the Stellar Development Foundation<\/a>, which oversees the Stellar blockchain.<\/span><\/p>\n

The initiative comes amid renewed interest in stablecoins as the US looks to fully recognize and regulate them as digital representations of the dollar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fidelity<\/a> recently revealed it is testing a stablecoin<\/a>, while payments giant Visa<\/a> is looking to launch a platform to tokenize fiat currencies<\/a>. Bank of America has also hinted at plans to launch its own stablecoin<\/a> once the regulatory environment is more certain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Industry engagement and personnel moves<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sources say Meta has initiated outreach to crypto infrastructure firms throughout 2025, with early conversations centered on stablecoins as a tool to reduce international payment costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to three people briefed on the meetings, the focus is on small-dollar payouts, especially for content creators and digital freelancers operating across multiple markets.<\/span><\/p>\n

USDC's<\/a> issuer Circle<\/a> has reportedly been in talks with Meta through Matt Cavin, a former executive at gaming blockchain startup Immutable who joined Circle in March.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg<\/a> acknowledged Diem's failure during an appearance at a Stripe conference earlier this week, where he said the project was dead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zuckerberg added that while Meta often leads in adopting new technologies, it has also been forced to re-enter markets where it was previously too early or met resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
