Whatsapp will launch a cryptocurrency for payments in the app

Some time ago, Facebook's plans to enter the cryptocurrency segment were revealed. Little by little, these plans are expanding. Because not only the social network would make use of them. One would also come to WhatsApp, with which to make payments within the messaging app. It would be a kind of payment platform that would be integrated or work in this app.

It is a project that is currently under development, although it seems to be in a premature state for now. So it won't be something that comes soon.

WhatsApp with cryptocurrencies

The type of cryptocurrency that would be used in the app would be a stablecoin, which is a type of cryptocurrency that associates its value with an existing currency, such as the dollar or the euro. So it is a more stable option than normal cryptocurrencies. To give a little more security to these possible transactions that are made on WhatsApp in the future.

At the moment, it seems that the Indian market would be the first one they would focus on with this project. It is a key market for the app, although it has had many problems as well. But, in the country there are already payments through the app, so it would be an expansion of your options.

For now there are no dates for the arrival of this payment platform with cryptocurrencies to WhatsApp. We know that they are currently working on it, but the company itself has not said anything. So we will have to wait a while until there are more concrete details.
