Imagine: you're going to buy a cappuccino at Starbucks, and your iPhone tells you: "Payment processed through USDC. Your soul has been transferred to Circle."
No, you are not dreaming. This is just news from 2025.
According to unnamed sources, likely invented by the author of this article — Apple, Google, Airbnb, and even X (yes, the same Twitter that now apparently wants to be a bank, media outlet, and trampoline center at the same time) are negotiating the implementation of stablecoins into their payment systems.
Why?
Because money is no longer just numbers. It is now your digital fingerprint wrapped in blockchain, spiced with smart contracts and sold to a venture capitalist from San Francisco who doesn't even know what a regular ATM is.
Circle, the company that prints USDC faster than the government prints excuses, has gone public and, to everyone's surprise, did not collapse but instead soared. Shares rose by 168% on the first day.
This is not growth, this is crypto-ascension!
Now seriously… although, what's the point?
If Apple really starts accepting stablecoins, then the next step is, of course, iPayCrypto with a subscription of $9.99/month just for the right to look at a QR code. Google will throw in its AI to predict which stablecoin you want to spend — even before you realize what you want to eat.
And Airbnb? You will finally be able to pay for a dirty bed in Berlin in USDC — and feel like a true citizen of the metaverse.
But the main question is: who controls this?
The Fed?
Congress?
God's Court?
No. It is controlled by Zuckerberg, Musk, and Peter Thiel, sitting on the blockchain like the three horsemen of the crypto-apocalypse.
And now imagine the next iOS update:
"iOS 19.3.1: Added support for stablecoins, removed the 'cancel' button. All transactions are now mandatory."
And as always — it's all in the name of 'convenience'. After all, nothing says 'freedom' like a digital dollar tied to your face, voice, and favorite Netflix series.
In conclusion:
If these rumors turn out to be true, then welcome to the future where you don't own your money, you don't own your data — and probably don't even own your thoughts. But everything will be fast. And cheap.
And paid in USDC.
