Catenaa, Monday, June 09, 2025-Tech giants Apple, X, Airbnb and Google are in early talks with cryptocurrency firms to explore integrating stablecoins into their platforms, Fortune Crypto reported Thursday, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
The move would aim to lower transaction costs and enable cheaper cross-border payments.
These firms join a growing list of major technology players, including Meta and Uber, evaluating the adoption of dollar-pegged digital assets amid rising investor interest and improved US regulatory clarity on digital currencies.
In May, Meta was said to be considering stablecoins for payments to Instagram creators.
Uber’s CEO also had confirmed the company is studying whether stablecoins could bring down costs.
X, Elon Musk’s rebranded Twitter platform, has experimented with blockchain features before, including NFT profile pictures and building a crypto team.
Musk has previously discussed transforming X into a “super app” akin to China’s WeChat, integrating payments, messaging and more.
Earlier X also announced a partnership with decentralized prediction platform Polymarket, which logged more than $1 billion in monthly trading volume from over 267,000 users in May.
