Mark Zuckerberg's Meta is planning stablecoin comeback in the second half of this year

The Facebook owner’s stablecoin integration involves planning a third party vendor to help administer stablecoin-based payments and a new wallet to be implemented, sources said. What to know : Meta sent out a request for product (RFP) to third-party firms to help administer stablecoin-based payments, according to sources. Stripe, which acquired stablecoin firm Bridge last year, was mentioned by one source as a likely candidate for piloting Meta’s stablecoin. Meta famously tried to introduce the Libra stablecoin, later renamed Diem, in 2019, only to be shut down amid regulatory scrutiny.
