💡 Big Tech and Stablecoin – When tech giants venture into finance!
Tech “tycoons” like PayPal, Meta (Facebook), and Amazon are quietly building their own financial empires by launching stablecoins – digital currencies with stable values.
📌 Examples:
• PayPal USD (PYUSD): Launched in 2023, supports fast payments, low costs.
• Facebook once experimented with Diem (Libra) – a failed project due to government scrutiny.
• Amazon is quietly integrating crypto into its payment ecosystem.
🌐 Why are Big Tech companies fascinated by stablecoins?
• Control their own payment ecosystems.
• Reduce dependence on banks.
• Increase the speed of global transactions.
However, this also raises concerns about privacy, monopolies, and control over user data. If Big Tech controls money too, what will you do?
