Big Techs consider adopting stablecoins as GENIUS Act debate continues
The market capitalization for stablecoins has risen 90% since Jan. 4, 2024, making stablecoins arguably crypto’s first mainstream use case.
Growing momentum for United States stablecoin regulation is reportedly pushing major tech firms like Apple, X, and Airbnb to explore digital token integration
According to a June 6 report from Fortune, at least four tech companies, including Apple, X, Airbnb and Google, are exploring stablecoins as a means to lower fees and improve cross-border payments. Each company is in a different stage of implementation, with Google perhaps the farthest ahead, having facilitated two stablecoin payments already.
Payment infrastructure companies are playing a role. For instance, Airbnb has been talking with Worldpay about using stablecoins, seeking to cut fees from credit card payment processors like Visa and Mastercard.
