Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal have sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, raising concerns over the company’s renewed interest in stablecoins. The senators argue that Meta’s potential control of a private stablecoin could consolidate economic power, undermine competition, and erode financial privacy. The inquiry follows reports that Meta is in talks with crypto firms to integrate stablecoin payments across its platforms, including Instagram and WhatsApp. The letter references Meta’s failed Libra/Diem project and questions whether the company has lobbied on crypto legislation. Meta has until June 17 to respond to eight detailed questions about its plans. The probe coincides with Senate advancement of the GENIUS Act, which could allow Big Tech firms to issue stablecoins—a move Warren strongly opposes.
