Meta Intends To Use Creator Coins As A Virtual Money In Its Apps

Meta intends to use creator coins as virtual money in its apps.

The Financial Times reported on Wednesday that Meta Platforms Inc is preparing plans to integrate virtual tokens and cryptocurrencies into its family of applications, with the goal of using such virtual tokens for rewarding creators, lending, and other financial activities.

The move, which is said to be in its early phases, comes as Meta expands its focus on services related to the metaverse, a virtual world where people communicate, work, and play. It may also provide Meta with a new income stream and more control over transactions across its suite of applications and services, which includes Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and the Meta Quest virtual reality platform if it is adopted.
