"What Meta is doing is they are operationalizing creator payouts on stablecoins, starting with Colombia and the Philippines.
So what this means is that if you are a creator, let's say you produce things on Instagram Live in the Philippines, you choose to get paid out in dollar-pegged stables, USDC, using the Solana blockchain. So you hook up your wallet and you get paid out.
Why would Meta do that?
Meta is going where the creators are and creators want payments in stablecoin. They want it because it's faster, because it's cheaper, and because they really want to be able to hold dollar-pegged assets."
