Meta is a company, which was earlier known as Facebook. In Q4 2021, Facebook rebranded its name in Meta and aimed to bring a better experience to the users with the high-level Augmented Reality (AR) based ecosystem, Metaverse. Just after a few months of rebranding the company name, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg sold his stakes from the blockchain project, Diem Association, because his company failed to push blockchain & crypto-related works perfectly under legal hurdles. 

Recently the Financial Times published a report and on behalf of the  collected some news from anonymous sources about the plan of Meta for its Metaverse, virtual world, agency revealed some interesting information about the next step of Meta. 

Report noted that Meta will launch non-blockchain technology-based virtual currency “Zuck Bucks”.

The new virtual currency will remain under the full control of the company.

Facebook & Trust 

In the past, many allegations-based cases were filed against Facebook regarding data leaks of users and also the sale of the data of users to other companies. All these things resulted in a big trust issue between Facebook company and its users. 

Due to such trust issues, many US lawmakers raised voices against the Novi crypto wallet from Facebook’s Diem project and also company faced some criticism for its WhatsApp integrated stable coin payment. 

Initiatives and efforts by the Meta company were much better but a lack of trust resulted in some big road bumps in the growth of the business of Meta.
