Big Tech Stablecoins: Are We on the Brink of a New Financial Revolution?

In recent years, we have witnessed a serious movement by tech giants like Meta (formerly Facebook), Amazon, and Apple towards innovation in the financial domain, specifically through stablecoin projects.

👨‍💻 In 2019, Meta launched the "Libra" project, which was later renamed to Diem, with the aim of creating a global stablecoin backed by a basket of traditional currencies. Although the project faced severe regulatory opposition, it highlighted a powerful idea: what if tech companies could build independent financial systems that transcend central banks?

📱 Imagine if Apple launched a stablecoin integrated into Apple Pay, or if Amazon created a currency used exclusively within its platform. The impact would be enormous:

Ease of international financial transfers

Reducing reliance on traditional banks

Increasing financial inclusion for billions who do not have bank accounts

But there are challenges:

⚖️ Regulatory: Governments see these currencies as a threat to their monetary sovereignty.

🔒 Security and Privacy: How will transaction data be protected? Will big companies monopolize more user data?

💼 Economically: How will the entry of companies like Google or Amazon into financial markets affect global financial stability?
