Big Tech companies—including Apple, Google, Airbnb, X (formerly Twitter), and Meta—are actively exploring stablecoin integration for payments and cross-border transactions. Their goal is to reduce fees, speed up settlements, and enhance global reach. Google Cloud has already accepted stablecoin payments in PayPal’s PYUSD, while Apple and Airbnb are in talks with stablecoin issuers like Circle (USDC) and payment partners such as Stripe and Worldpay. X is considering stablecoin payments for its upcoming X Money product. Some tech firms may even consider launching their own stablecoins, though regulatory uncertainty remains a challenge
