The predecessor of #科技巨头入场稳定币 (Twitter) and other tech giants are exploring the integration of stablecoins into their platforms.
Stablecoin cryptocurrencies are akin to stable assets such as the US dollar. They possess the advantages of blockchain but are not as prone to volatility as more traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
As the demand for faster and cheaper cross-border payments continues to grow, these discussions have arisen. The benefits are also evident for tech companies like Airbnb that are accessible globally. Accepting stablecoins can also avoid the high fees charged by credit card networks like Visa and Mastercard.
An Airbnb spokesperson stated that the company has "always been keeping an eye on all aspects of payments" to improve user experience, but it is also researching digital assets.
According to previous reports, X has expressed interest in adding stablecoin payment functionality to its upcoming payment product, X Money.
