Source: Polygon Stablecoins have emerged as a key use case for crypto. Lamine Brahimi, co-founder and managing partner at crypto custody provider Taurus, told Cointelegraph earlier this month that financial institutions across Europe are actively selecting infrastructure partners to support stablecoin adoption. Creators who opt for Meta’s stablecoin payout can connect their third-party crypto wallet to Facebook’s payout platform. However, Meta said it “reserves the right to pay” in an alternate payment method in the “event of technical difficulties or unforeseen circumstances.” Meta creators include influencers, educators, and entertainers who earn money by posting content on the company’s platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram. Facebook paid creators nearly $3 billion in 2025, a 35% increase from the previous year, according to the company.

The market leader is Tether's USDt (USDT) with a market cap of $189.4 billion. The stablecoin creator payments come years after the company scrapped its open-source stablecoin project Diem, due to friction with regulators. The project faced opposition over privacy and antitrust concerns. Central banks and lawmakers also objected, citing concerns about financial stability, consumer protections and the lack of a clear regulatory framework for crypto at the time. In a January 2022 statement, the project said it was “clear from our dialogue with federal regulators that the project could not move ahead,” and all its assets were sold to Silvergate Capital Corporation.
