Facebook announced that they’d be entering the crypto world with their cryptocurrency- Libra. Ever since the announcement, Libra has seen resistance from all over the world. The governments, as well as crypto enthusiasts and founders, have been questioning the way it will work and SEC has asked Facebook to put a pause on the development process.

Recently, France came forward and have decided to disrupt the development of Libra as it threatens the “monetary sovereignty” of the governments.
