Meta stablecoin status: no coin today, per spokesperson
Meta says there is no proprietary stablecoin available today. A company spokesperson confirmed there is “still no stablecoin” from Meta, clarifying recent discussions about payments.
This follows the wind-down of Libra/Diem. As reported by Coinomist, the Diem Association shut down in early 2022 after selling its core assets (https://coinomist.com/insights/meta-returns-on-stablecoin-arena/).
What this means: USDC integrations, not reviving Libra/Diem
In practical terms, Meta is evaluating integrations with existing stablecoins rather than issuing one. As reported by MarketScreener, MT Newswires said Meta plans a return to stablecoin efforts later this year (https://www.marketscreener.com/news/meta-platforms-plans-return-to-stablecoin-later-this-year-ce7e5cdadc8af223).
Separately, Fortune reported last May that Meta considered stablecoin integration to reduce payment costs, with discussions encompassing USDC issued by Circle (https://fortune.com/crypto/2025/05/08/meta-stablecoins-exploration-usdc-circle-diem-libra/).
Meta’s communications have repeatedly emphasized that a Meta-branded coin is not being revived. “To be clear: as Mark said … Diem is ‘dead.’ There is no Meta stablecoin,” said Andy Stone, communications director at Meta, in May 2025.
Immediate impact for users, creators, and payments on Meta platforms
For users, nothing changes today. There is no new token to hold, and no new on-platform currency from Meta.
For creators and merchants, any potential benefits, such as lower fees or faster settlement, depend on third‑party stablecoin integrations and a wallet. No deployment timeline has been announced, so existing payout rails continue.
What to watch next: wallet plans and third-party integrations
Potential use cases: cross-border payments and creator payouts
Reporting has described a model using a third‑party vendor to administer stablecoin payments and a new wallet to interface with Meta apps. As reported by The Block, Meta eyed stablecoin integration this year (https://www.theblock.co/post/391048/facebook-owner-meta-eyes-stablecoin-integration-this-year-report?utmsource=markets.xml&utmmedium=rss).
If executed, likely early use cases include cross‑border remittances and creator payouts. These would rely on existing stablecoins, with compliance guardrails such as KYC/AML and money transmission oversight.
Regulatory scrutiny and policymaker concerns shaping integration paths
According to CoinDesk, Senator Elizabeth Warren has called for blocking big‑tech issuance of stablecoins, signaling political resistance to proprietary coins (https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2025/05/09/as-meta-said-to-mull-tokens-senator-warren-calls-for-blocking-big-tech-stablecoins?utm_source=openai). That stance narrows the path toward integrations rather than issuance.
Separately, Cointelegraph reported that Rep. Maxine Waters questioned Meta about crypto‑related trademarks, underscoring oversight of wallets and digital assets (https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-lawmaker-maxine-waters-asks-meta-its-crypto-trademark-plans?utm_source=openai). Licensing, consumer protection, and sanctions compliance will shape any rollout.
At the time of this writing, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) traded around $635.61, down 0.26% intraday at 10:52:03 a.m. EST, based on Nasdaq real‑time prices via Yahoo. market moves are unrelated to any product timelines.
