Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal have questioned Meta about its stablecoin plans ahead of a key Senate vote on the GENIUS Act. The lawmakers are concerned about potential privacy issues and whether Meta has lobbied for the bill, specifically regarding restrictions on Big Tech firms owning stablecoin issuers. The letter also references Meta's troubled history with its previous stablecoin initiative, Libra.
