The move is more concerned with the market: Facebook has issued a new currency. ?

In our previous communication, we believe that Facebook has taken the first step to embrace the blockchain, but Libra, as a global stable currency anchoring a basket of assets, has a long way to go in terms of technology and supervision. From a regulatory point of view, a letter from a member is only expressing willingness. It is not the final ruling. Regardless of success or failure, Facebook still needs to face some hearings in the future. We will also closely follow the event and look forward to more details of Libra. .

Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase are eager to stabilize the currency. Plustoken is suspected of running, involving 20 billion yuan. All this shows that the blockchain industry has had an indiscriminate impact in all areas. On the one hand, the industry is waiting for a verifiable innovation. The role model, on the other hand, is how regulation regulates chaos in the industry. We believe that Bitcoin brings the creation of blockchain from 0 to 1. The industry looks forward to the next 1 to 2 or even 1 to 10 re-innovation, using the actual landing to change the world. At the same time, regulation will be impossible for the development of the industry. A lack of a link to avoid illegal chaos.
