Meta starts USDC creator payouts on Solana and Polygon in Colombia and the Philippines

Meta has begun offering select creators the option to receive earnings in USDC stablecoin on the Solana and Polygon blockchains, according to an update to its business help pages; the rollout is currently limited to creators in Colombia and the Philippines ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

Stripe is serving as the payments partner, handling backend infrastructure and crypto-specific tax reporting for participating creators, and Meta’s action represents its most concrete return to crypto payments since it shut down the Diem project in early 2022 ^{[1] [3]}.

Industry coverage framed the move as a notable corporate endorsement for networks like Solana and Polygon but reported that there was no verified 24‑hour price spike for SOL at the time of publication; outlets described the change as significant for creator payment rails without confirming immediate market effects ^{[4] [3]}.

The feature is currently limited in scope; further geographic expansion and any consequent market impact were not confirmed in initial reports and will require additional observation ^{[1] [4]}.
