Facebook to face new Congressional hearing regarding project Libra

Politicians from across the world have been all over Facebook’s announcement about project Libra. The first commentary came from the French Minister of Finance with concerns over Libra’s effect on sovereign currencies. The United States was quick to step in as well with a congresswoman asking Facebook to completely halt developments until a congress hearing takes place, to evaluate the project thoroughly.

Congressional hearings are not a novelty for Facebook. In 2018,  Mark Zuckerberg was “grilled for about 10 hours by nearly 100 legislators” over privacy concerns and consumer protection. Nonetheless, Zuckerberg agreed that proper and fitting regulations must be applied. During his hearing, he assured a congressman that his team will draw up suggestions for possible regulations and work with lawmakers to enforce them.

Today, Facebook is back at Capitol Hill with another congressional hearing at 15:00 London time. Only this time, the hearing will revolve around Facebook’s project Libra and will be lead by David Marcus, Head of Calibra. We expect the U.S congress to question David Marcus about four main topics: consumer protection, privacy, regulations and AML/CFT. Although the launch date is expected to be in 2020, David Marcus said Facebook won’t launch Libra until regulators’ concerns are resolved.

President Trump already expressed his concerns about Libra, mainly around the potential negative effect on the US dollar. His comment was similar to many countries’ responses. Nonetheless, according to the prepared testimony released by the Senate Banking Committee, David Marcus will say: “The Libra Association, which will manage the Reserve, has no intention of competing with any sovereign currencies or entering the monetary policy arena”

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
