The recent #Meta debate on the adoption of #stablecoins on its platform has sparked rumors that Meta might acquire #Ripple or, at the very least, collaborate. Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has previously commented on the cross-border payment system saying that "it would double our profits if we could enter cross-border payments." Meta's recent hires have added to the rumors, Ginger Baker, the current Vice President of Product at Meta, has past affiliations with the Stellar Foundation, Plaid, and First Horizon, organizations that are deeply connected to the payments and #blockchain industries.
