Meta\u2019s ending the pilot for Novi, the company\u2019s digital wallet and the last remaining piece of its troubled cryptocurrency project, as first reported by Bloomberg<\/em><\/a>. On Novi\u2019s website<\/a>, Meta says the wallet is shutting down on September 1st, 2022, and asks users to withdraw their funds \u201cas soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Users will lose access to their accounts come September, and will no longer be able to add money to Novi starting July 21st. If someone forgets to withdraw their remaining balance, Meta says it will \u201cattempt to transfer\u201d their funds to the bank account or debit card added to the service.<\/p>\n

Meta rolled out the \u201csmall pilot\u201d of Novi to users in the US and Guatemala<\/a> last October. Novi was originally built to support fast and free transactions using the Meta-backed cryptocurrency, Diem, but regulatory challenges forced the company to partner with Coinbase to use the Paxos stablecoin (USDP) instead. While Meta made it clear that it still planned on adding support for Diem<\/a> at a later date, things started to fall apart (more than they already were) at the end of 2021 and into 2022.<\/p>\n
