Meta's WhatsApp Will Allow Crypto Payments Through Novi Wallet in US

Meta's cryptocurrency wallet, Novi, will allow users to send and receive money through the social media giant's messaging app, WhatsApp. From a report: The pilot program is open to a limited number of people in the United States, Novi head Stephane Kasriel said in a tweet late on Wednesday.

But.... HODL ?
