Meta Platforms Inc's cryptocurrency wallet, Novi, will allow users to send and receive money through its messaging app, WhatsApp.

Meta Platforms, formerly Facebook, has been working on the wallet app for several months, while scaling back its global plans for rolling out a digital currency called Diem on regulatory concerns.
