## Source summary

Meta added a USDC funding option for advertisers in selected countries. A third-party payment provider receives the stablecoin, converts it into local currency and credits the advertiser's prepaid balance; Meta does not hold, transmit or process the stablecoin. Meta charges no stablecoin fee, but wallets, exchanges, networks or payment partners may charge, and refunds are issued as ad credits rather than returned to a crypto wallet.

## Why it matters

The flow is a concrete stablecoin on-ramp into a global advertising account while keeping Meta's ledger and settlement currency conventional. It can simplify funding across markets, but availability is limited, the third-party provider and supported networks are not named in the report, conversion spreads may apply, and irreversible transfers create operational and consumer-protection risk.
