According to the report, Facebook may plan to develop what is known as a “stablecoin“, which is a form of crypto-currency linked to the US dollar. The idea behind this is that it will help minimize any instability commonly associated with crypto-values, such as Bitcoin, which has been known for great fluctuations.

“Like many other companies, Facebook is exploring ways to boost the power of blockchain technology. This new team is reviewing many different applications. We have nothing to share further. “
