Libra, Facebook’s Cryptocurrency, to Launch Next Year in Limited Version

The much anticipated Facebook’s Libra cryptocurrency will launch in the first quarter of next year. The single digital coin supported by the dollar has been an initiative that was first unveiled by Facebook in 2019.

The 27 strong Libra association will be responsible for the governance and issuing of the digital coin. Resistance from prime financial regulators and the Central bank has delayed the project’s progression as other states chase CBDC’s, reacting to stable private coins similar to Libra.

Initially, Libra, launched by Facebook executives, did not receive a great welcome. Laer, the founders, Paypal, Mastercard, Vodafone, and eBay, decided to distance themselves from the controversial project.

The Adopted Alterations

In April Libra Association said that it intended to launch digital versions of several currencies and a ‘digital composite’ of every coin they own. Importantly, regulators’ distress over its initial plans to establish a single synthetic coin pegged by several currencies led them to this decision.

Libra association published an updated white paper in June explaining that it would establish Multi fiat currency pegged stable coins. Moreover, it has patched up its vision to address regulators’ worries, limiting its scope and reassuring strict measures in a system with integrity.  For now, the Geneva-based company will first launch a single coin pegged one-for-one by the dollar. Furthermore, the other currencies plus the composite will be launched at a later date.

Libra had been in trouble for its close association with the social media network, which has faced multiple scandals. While this move will soothe the concerned regulators, critics believe that the single coin could subject users to high conversion costs, thus compromising Facebook’s ambitions.

The Turning Point of Libra

Libra Association members believed that the appointment of Stuart Levey as the first CEO and HSBC legal chief contributed to the recent decisions towards the project. Some Libra members have been excited to establish and analyze their products to launch at the digital currency network’s crown when it goes live.

Rebranded Calibra, Novi, has been designing a wallet to permit Facebook users to hold the Libra currency. According to a person involved with Novi, the wallet was prepared from a product view and will first be rolled out in a few countries, including the US and Latin American countries.

It is uncertain how prime members of the consortium intend to employ the currency. Some say they will wait to see the response after its launch before investing in it.
