Meta's (NASDAQ:FB) WhatsApp launches a new feature that allows a "limited number of people" in the U.S. to send and receive money in a chat using cryptocurrency, Novi Leader Stephanie Kasriel writes in a tweet. The feature is powered by Novi, Meta's (FB) digital wallet that launched as a pilot six weeks ago, The Verge reports. Novi uses digital currencies that make money as simple as sending a message, starting with converting dollars to Pax dollars, a stablecoin issued by Paxos. The move comes more than a year after Meta (FB) said it will launch crypto in 2020.
