US tech behemoth Meta is planning to expand to other regions after launching USDC payouts for creators on its platforms in Colombia and the Philippines.
Participating creators will have their payments sent straight to their Solana or Polygon blockchain wallets. According to Wednesday’s release, however, an external exchange is necessary to convert USDC into fiat currency since Meta does not have an in-built conversion mechanism.
On Wednesday, Polygon said that the stablecoin deployment would soon extend to new countries, but at the moment, only a restricted group of creators in Colombia and the Philippines have access to the program.
Polygon stated:
“Live in Colombia and the Philippines, with 160+ markets coming, users now get faster settlement with USDC while gaining access to dollar-denominated assets. This is how creators’ lives are improved.”
One important use case for cryptocurrency is stablecoins. Financial institutions in Europe are actively choosing infrastructure partners to facilitate the adoption of stablecoins, according to Lamine Brahimi, co-founder and managing partner of crypto custody provider Taurus.
Those who want to receive stablecoin as payment may link their external cryptocurrency wallet to Facebook’s payout system. In the “event of technical difficulties or unforeseen circumstances,” Meta said that it “reserves the right to pay” via an other payment method.
Meta creators are those that get income from the sharing of content on the company’s platforms, such Instagram and Facebook. This includes educators, influencers, and entertainers. In 2025, Facebook paid out approximately $3 billion to creators, up 35% from the year before, as reported by the corporation. Years after abandoning its open-source stablecoin project Diem because of regulatory difficulties, the business is finally paying creator’s in stablecoins.
