Meta Plans Ethereum-Based Stablecoin Integration With USDC, USDT for 3.5 Billion Users, Backed by BlackRock Tokenization

By: defi news|2025/05/13 15:30:06

Meta Platforms Inc., led by Mark Zuckerberg, is reportedly planning to integrate stablecoins into its platforms, potentially onboarding its 3.5 billion users onto Ethereum-based crypto solutions. This move aims to revive Meta's cryptocurrency ambitions following the unsuccessful Libra project. Zuckerberg acknowledged at a Stripe conference that Meta is catching up in the crypto space and is working to regain its position. The integration is expected to include stablecoin payouts for creators across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, with support for major stablecoins such as USDC and USDT. Meanwhile, Ethereum remains the dominant blockchain for stablecoin liquidity and tokenization of financial instruments, with over 50% of stablecoin liquidity, amounting to $124 billion, settling on the Ethereum mainnet. Institutional involvement is growing, highlighted by BlackRock's $2.6 billion tokenization on Ethereum, which contributes to Ethereum’s 81.6% market share in real-world asset tokenization. This ecosystem dominance and the anticipated Meta integration underscore Ethereum's central role in the expanding crypto economy.This is an AI-generated article powered by DeepNewz, curated by The Defiant.
