The tag #BigTechStablecoin likely refers to stablecoins issued or supported by major tech companies. These currencies are a type of digital currency that is typically pegged to a stable asset like the US dollar, but what distinguishes them is their support or development by tech giants such as Meta (Facebook), Google, Apple, or Amazon.
Background and Key Concepts
Stablecoin: A digital currency aimed at maintaining a stable value, often linked to a traditional currency like the dollar.
Participation of Major Tech Companies:
Meta attempted to launch a stablecoin project called Diem (previously known as Libra), but it faced significant regulatory opposition worldwide and the project was halted.
Companies like Amazon, Apple, and Google have payment systems and digital wallets, but they have not launched their own stablecoin yet (as of June 2025).
There is still speculation that one of these companies may launch a stablecoin under their brand, which could accelerate the widespread adoption of digital currencies.
