#BigTechStablecoin The growing momentum of stablecoin regulation in the United States is reportedly pushing major tech firms such as Apple, X, and Airbnb to explore the integration of digital tokens.

According to a Fortune report from June 6, at least four tech companies, including Apple, X, Airbnb, and Google, are examining stablecoins as a means to reduce fees and improve cross-border payments. Each company is at a different stage of implementation, with Google possibly the furthest ahead, having already facilitated two stablecoins.

Payment infrastructure companies are playing their part. For instance, Airbnb has spoken with Worldpay about using stablecoins, aiming to cut fees from credit card payment processors like Visa and Mastercard.

The social platform X has been in discussions with crypto companies about integrating stablecoins into its X Money app, the report states. Elon Musk has previously stated that he wants to expand the reach of X so that users can send and receive money. The company has already been pursuing licenses for money transmission across the United States.
