Tech giant Meta starts paying some creators in stablecoin with Stripe's support

The tech giant is first offering the feature to select creators in Colombia and the Philippines. What to know : Meta has begun rolling out stablecoin payouts to select creators, allowing them to receive earnings in USDC on the Solana or Polygon blockchains. The program, supported by payments firm Stripe, lets eligible users link a crypto wallet and generates tax documents from both Meta and Stripe, tied to creators’ earnings and digital asset transactions. The initiative marks Meta’s renewed push into stablecoin payments after its earlier Libra, later Diem, project was shut down amid regulatory scrutiny.
