Meta Reportedly Plans Stablecoin Return via Third-Party Partners in H2 2026

Meta is reportedly re-entering the stablecoin market in the second half of 2026.
However, this time, it is integrating third-party payment solutions and launching a digital wallet rather than issuing its own token.
Why it matters:
- Meta’s 3.2 billion-user base gives any stablecoin integration immediate global payment reach at scale.
- The pivot to third-party solutions reduces regulatory exposure that killed Libra (later Diem) after pushback from US and EU regulators in 2019–2022.
- A Meta-backed digital wallet could accelerate stablecoin adoption across social commerce, creator payouts, and cross-border transfers.
The details:
- Per reports, Stripe is the leading candidate for integration, following its acquisition of Bridge, a stablecoin infrastructure company.
- Stripe CEO Patrick Collison joined Meta’s board of directors in April 2025, deepening the companies’ existing partnership.
- Meta will not issue its own stablecoin, opting instead to leverage existing third-party stablecoin rails.
The big picture:
