WSJ reported that two key members Visa and Mastercard are reconsidering their involvement in the project amid regulatory pushbacks. Facebook and its backers have scheduled to meet on 3rd October to discuss the crypto project in Washington DC.
The company plans to launch the stablecoin next year, but as of now, nothing can be said with certainty as regulators from all over the world are pushing back the project. Earlier, the French finance minister said that they would not authorize the development of Libra on European soil.
