Outlook: Libra still has variables

Libra's white paper has been published so far. On the one hand, the number of applicants is endless, and on the other hand, the regulators frequently test pressure, which increases Libra's uncertainty.

In a recent quarterly report to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Facebook reminded investors that although it plans to launch the cryptocurrency Libra next year, there are many factors that may prevent Libra from launching as scheduled, and may even lead Libra to never come out.

Not only that, but the concerns of the existing members of the Libra Association have also buried hidden dangers. On June 26, New York Times reporter Nathaniel Popper issued a message saying that some partners in the Libra Association are still approaching Libra with caution, and seven of the company’s executives said they joined the agreement by signing a non-binding agreement. Part of the reason for the project is that they know they are not obligated to use or promote the digital token Libra. If they don't like the development of tokens, they can easily quit.

Facebook spokesperson Elka Looks said in a statement that the company plans to "completely engage in dialogue and discussions with founding members and welcome more members to join in the coming months." "We know it takes time and it's not easy, but as long as we work together, Libra's goals can be achieved."

Libra Association spokesperson Dante Disparte said that since the Libra Association was announced, it has received a large number of letters from companies interested in becoming members. He said that the Libra Association is likely to develop a list of companies that will become the first members of the association's 100 next year.

Zuckerberg’s statement also gave the node applicants a reassurance. In an open letter released last week, Zuckerberg has repeatedly reiterated that Libra will cooperate with the regulation and promised that “Facebook and the Libra Association both plan to work with regulators to resolve all concerns before the launch of Libra.” This actually conveyed Libra to the public . Face up to problems and attitudes to solve problems.

It is foreseeable in the future that more institutions will apply to join the Libra Association. The final result is unpredictable, but Libra is still highly anticipated, as Joe Lallouz, CEO of cryptocurrency company Bison Trails, said: “This is a huge Opportunity, but there are still many details that need to be addressed.
