#BigTechStablecoin

The growing push for stablecoin regulation in the United States is reportedly leading major tech companies like Apple, X, and Airbnb to explore the integration of digital tokens.

According to a June 6 report from Fortune, at least four tech companies, including Apple, X, Airbnb, and Google, are exploring stablecoins as a way to reduce fees and improve international payments. Each company is at a different stage of implementation, with Google perhaps being the most advanced, having already facilitated two payments with stablecoins.

Payment infrastructure companies are playing an important role. For example, Airbnb has been negotiating with Worldpay for the use of stablecoins, seeking to reduce the fees charged by credit card payment processors like Visa and Mastercard.
