Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Meta is revisiting stablecoins three years after shelving its Diem project. The company is holding early-stage discussions with crypto firms and has hired fintech veteran Ginger Baker to explore using USD-pegged stablecoins for cross-border and creator payments. Industry momentum is growing, with Visa partnering with Bridge, Fidelity building a proprietary stablecoin, and Stripe launching stablecoin-backed accounts. Meta's renewed interest comes as enterprise adoption accelerates and U.S. lawmakers move closer to stablecoin legislation.
