Facebook To Build Planned Stablecoin Ecosystem
Facebook is expected to have discussions with a handful of firms, two of which are Visa and Mastercard. The goal is to acquire funds that would support its very own fiat-backed cryptocurrency. The social media giant has been working on this project for quite some time now. Basically, it plans to bring forth a stablecoin-based payments platform.
As for now, the project is being dubbed as “Project Libra,” with a goal of developing a crypto that allows the company’s users to send money to each other. Even more so, it is expected to enable them to make online purchases.
The tech company has already made talks with several e-commerce companies. Pretty much like the aforementioned, it is hoping to gain funds support for its upcoming stablecoin. Also, there is a possibility that the company will pay users in cryptos for simply viewing ads. Lastly, it will give advertisers the ability to process the token for merchandise, among many others.
