Mark Zuckerberg to blow up crypto prices? Leaks reveal Meta plans to add crypto support for 3 billion users: Report

Meta Platforms Inc.'s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mark Zuckerberg, is allegedly planning to add crypto support for the company's three billion users, reported the news portal Forbes, citing some industry leaks on Sunday, May 11, 2025. 

This development of the leak and Zuckerberg's alleged plan will likely pump up the cryptocurrency market, as a big tech giant like Meta's move into backing crypto will boost investor sentiment.

According to an earlier development on May 4, David Sacks, who was appointed by US President Donald Trump to lead the artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency strategy, predicted a “Trump boom” in the crypto market as US dollar warnings are preparing bitcoin for a market shock.

Sacks called it a “geopolitical fragmentation megaforce” shock, according to the news portal's earlier report.
