Apple and several other major companies have activated their interest in stablecoins, which could significantly change payment systems and offer new financial solutions.
Apple and Other Tech Giants Explore Stablecoins
Apple is in talks with several cryptocurrency companies to integrate stablecoins into its services. This would allow users to make direct payments using stablecoins on Apple devices. Additionally, Airbnb, Google, and Alphabet have also considered using stablecoins to enhance their global operations.
Stablecoins Integration by Stripe and PayPal
The payment platform Stripe is also in discussions with global banks to add stablecoins to speed up transactions and lower cross-border payment costs. In this context, stablecoins are becoming an important element of fintech, being explored by companies such as PayPal and Visa.
Rise of Stablecoins and the Need for Regulation
With the increasing adoption of stablecoins, their valuation has reached $233.37 billion, attracting regulatory attention. Currently, several bills are being discussed aimed at regulating stablecoins, although opinions among industry leaders diverge. For instance, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong believes that the proposed measures may stifle innovation.
The interest of major tech companies in stablecoins could lead to changes not only in payments but also in the acceleration of their regulatory processes.
