U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, requesting him to disclose Meta's latest plans in the stablecoin sector and expressing concerns about its recent push for stablecoin payment integration.Warren stated that the transparency of Meta's stablecoin project is deeply concerning, especially considering the widespread regulatory controversies that arose from its earlier launch of the Libra (later renamed Diem) global stablecoin initiative. She asserted that Meta's new attempts in the payment and financial services sector should be subject to careful scrutiny. Warren demanded that Meta clarify the details of its stablecoin pilot program by May 20, including the launch timeline, the third-party stablecoins involved, and related privacy and risk control measures. It is reported that Meta has been testing USDC-based stablecoin payment functionality with select content creators in the Philippines and Colombia since April. Currently, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee is reviewing the digital asset market structure bill known as the CLARITY Act, where the regulatory framework for stablecoins and issues of conflicts of interest remain contentious points. As a senior Democratic member of the committee, Warren has long held a cautious stance on large tech companies' involvement in crypto finance.

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote to Mark Zuckerberg, requesting more information from Meta regarding its latest stablecoin plan and criticizing the company's "lack of transparency" in related business as concerning.In her letter, Elizabeth Warren stated that given Meta's vast global user base, any stablecoin-related business could have a significant impact on market competition, user privacy, the integrity of payment systems, and financial stability. Previously disclosed information indicated that Facebook has been testing stablecoin payment features for certain creators in Colombia and the Philippines, with the plan based on USD Coin (USDC), requiring users to link a third-party crypto wallet address. A Meta spokesperson responded that the company "does not have a Meta stablecoin," and currently only hopes that users and merchants can use various payment methods, including third-party stablecoins, on the platform. Notably, Meta launched the stablecoin project Libra (later renamed Diem) in 2019, but ultimately terminated it in 2022 due to regulatory pressure. Warren has long been one of the toughest critics of cryptocurrency in the U.S. Congress and has repeatedly questioned Meta's stablecoin plans.
