Wu Tong, deputy director of the CECBC blockchain special committee and dean of the Digital Economy Business School, told the Securities Daily that Facebook’s cryptocurrency Libra had an impact on foreign exchange control policies of sovereign countries. It has an impact on the efficiency of monetary policy in sovereign countries. At the same time, it should be noted that a major principle of the financial system is investor and consumer protection. Facebook's currency does not have sufficient evidence to show that it can effectively protect investors and consumers.

Libra can be considered as a “sovereign currency” of the Facebook kingdom. In the future, it has a financial infrastructure with nearly 3 billion people trading. Users all over the world. If it is internally issued Libra, which is not bound by traditional borders, will challenge the current traditional sovereignty. Currency, Shen Meng explained to the "Securities Daily" reporter that although other cryptocurrencies have been used for gray or even black transactions, but after all, the coverage of the population is limited, whether technically or practically, Facebook-based Libra may be greatly Zoom in on hidden illegal risks.
