Meta is gradually expanding the integration of cryptocurrencies into its content creation ecosystem by beginning to offer some creators the option to receive payments in USDC . According to its official support page, payments can be sent directly to crypto wallets operating on the Solana or Polygon networks, demonstrating Meta's new strategy to promote cross-border payments using stablecoins – a trend that is accelerating strongly in 2025–2026.
According to Meta Platforms , in the event of technical issues or unforeseen circumstances, the company reserves the right to switch to another payment method previously registered by the user. Meta also emphasized that recipients are solely responsible for securing their account information, including cryptocurrency wallet XEM – a crucial factor given the increasing number of personal wallet attacks.
Meta suggests several popular wallets that can be used to receive USDC, including MetaMask , Phantom , and Binance . This move follows Meta's previously revealed plan to enter the stablecoin market this year through partnerships with third-party partners. The selection of Solana and Polygon networks shows that Meta is prioritizing blockchains with low fees and fast processing speeds, suitable for large-scale payments to global creators.
To deploy its payment infrastructure, Meta will utilize Stripe 's services. Due to the nature of stablecoins as digital assets, Stripe can provide additional reports related to crypto transactions, and Meta recommends users store payment history from both platforms for tax purposes. This is a noteworthy detail, as regulators in many countries are increasing their scrutiny of tax revenue from digital assets.
