Facebook's GlobalCoin project, project code Libra, has been in preparation for a year. The Block got the new promotional materials from the alliance and got the news. Facebook’s Calibra subsidiary, which specializes in its cryptocurrency program, is also a founding member.

A person familiar with the insider revealed that Facebook had originally invited Wall Street to join, but found that big investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase were not interested in this. Facebook's plan is to find 100 members of the Libra Association and continue to look for it.

In May of this year, Facebook registered Libra Networks LLC in Geneva, Switzerland. The BBC reported that the company plans to release GlobalCoin in more than a dozen countries in the first quarter of 2020. But according to one of Coindesk's informants who know about Facebook's operations, the actual test period may be in the early 2020 period, so any upcoming publicity is just a plan for the future.

According to the source, Libra plans to face severe technical difficulties, and the software of this project has a long way to go before it can be used. The source attributed the project extension to the incumbents in the blockchain industry who were reluctant to work with Libra because Facebook's GlobalCoin did not have the characteristics of a real cryptocurrency.

Facebook has talked with Tendermint (Open Source Blockchain Framework Development Company) and Stellar (Open Source Decentralization Agreement for Cross-Border Payments) and even expressed interest in acquiring MobileCoin (cross-platform encryption SMS service provider Signal founder Moxie MarlinSpike as consultant) Company), no results.

David Marcus, the new blockchain leader of Facebook last year, and vice president of Facebook SMS applications, was a member of the board of directors of Coinbase. Before that, just a year ago, there was only one employee of Morgan Beller, the corporate development team, working on the blockchain.

Facebook is now recruiting blockchain talent in Silicon Valley with a high salary of millions of dollars a year.
