On February 25, it was reported that Meta Platforms Inc. plans to integrate stablecoin payment functionality through Stripe Bridge in the second half of 2026, providing revenue payment solutions for creators. According to CoinDesk, the plan aims to leverage the new U.S. regulatory environment, reduce cross-border settlement costs, and accelerate small-value transfers.
The news indicates that Meta has issued a proposal request to third-party infrastructure companies, with Stripe considered a potential partner. Stripe CEO Patrick Collison will join Meta’s board of directors in April 2025 to strengthen the collaboration. Meta’s previous Libra project (later renamed Diem), launched in 2019, was terminated due to regulatory pressures. This integration plan does not involve issuing its own stablecoin but promotes distribution channels.
Stripe’s Bridge platform received conditional approval from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in February 2026 and obtained a national trust bank license, providing a compliant foundation for this integration. Stripe’s 2025 annual letter shows that Bridge’s transaction volume has quadrupled compared to the previous period, and stablecoin payments are steadily expanding in real-world use.
Meta aims to optimize revenue payments for platform creators, especially for small transfers facing high wire transfer and foreign exchange fees. Its platforms—Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp—have approximately 3 billion users worldwide. Integrating stablecoin payments will significantly improve payment efficiency and strengthen competitiveness with X and Telegram in super app functionalities.
CoinDesk notes that under the new policy environment, U.S. stablecoin issuers have received clear federal legal support. In July 2025, Trump signed the GENIUS Act, marking a shift from regulatory opposition to acceptance, promoting the integration of stablecoins into mainstream financial systems. It remains unclear which specific stablecoins, wallet custody, and compliance arrangements Meta will support, as well as whether it will expand into overseas markets. Meta and Stripe have not commented on this.
