Facebook’s Libra Coin is currently one of the most expected digital currencies, granted its potential of changing the current dynamics of the market. While many members of the crypto community may argue that Libra isn’t a real cryptocurrency due to its centralized architecture, it certainly shouldn’t be ignored.

Recently, Facebook made several statements regarding its upcoming digital currency. For instance, it presented the Libra Association, a select group of 100 individuals who will be responsible for governing the coin, in an effort to ensure that no person holds complete control over its development. As such, any decision regarding the coin must be made by the association, according to its statute.

During the last couple of years, the cryptocurrency market has grown exponentially. Yet, this increase in popularity brought along several new fintech trends, including the emergence of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), tokens, and now, social media cryptocurrencies.

Recent reports indicate that Facebook has been actively working on its cryptocurrency ambitions for a while. Rumours discussing an internal crypto-related project have first appeared last year, when it was revealed that Facebook was seeking a $1 billion funding for Project Libra, the social network’s digital currency.
