Facebook's stablecoin, "Libra", gets official launch

In an attempt at financial inclusion, Facebook is launching its very own stablecoin: Libra. Over 30% of the entire world population does not have access to a bank account and hence cannot benefit from the advantages offered by the banking system that developed country residents take for granted. The social media giant might be the perfect candidate as it has a very large global reach. Facebook has more than 2.3 billion active monthly users and their plan is “Just as people can use their phones to message friends anywhere in the world today, with Libra, the same can be done with money — instantly, securely and at low cost”.

Multiple projects have joined Facebook’s journey by becoming founding members of the Libra Association and offer additional geographic and clientele diversification. Among others, the members include Mastercard, Visa, PayPal, eBay, Spotify, Uber and Coinbase. All founding members will help grow the ecosystem and represent the final decision-making authority. Nonetheless, Facebook will maintain the role of the leader until the stablecoin-based project is finally launched in the first half of 2020.

According to project Libra’s whitepaper, the asset is built on a “secure, scalable and reliable blockchain” that will be open-source and hence open to anyone to build products on top of it. As a stablecoin, it is backed by a combination of bank deposits and short-term government securities to give it intrinsic value, which according to the whitepaper is something many cryptocurrencies lack. A major concern from the public is how will their data be protected. As Facebook suffered from negative media attention in regards to its data-sharing practices, they created a regulated subsidiary, Calibra, to “ensure separation between social and financial data”.

It remains a mystery as to how the unbanked will buy Libra, as they usually do not have access to debit or credit cards. However, we do know a wallet will be integrated into Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp to help provide quick access to financial transactions. The wallet will also be available as a standalone app.

As far as the cryptocurrency ecosystem is concerned, Facebook’s new venture might accelerate retail adoption of existing and future crypto-assets. From a more global perspective, Binance speculates these can be some of the long term implications: “Reshaping of the payment industry New offerings of financial services Advancing greater freedom of money and lowering capital restrictions worldwide un-dollarisation of the world”.

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 success guarantee work?

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
