Moreover, according to the manager, this proposal is still an idea, not a preferred concept.

The launch of the Libra digital currency is still scheduled for June 2020, but regulators may affect the timing, Markus said.

&#171;That's still our goal, but we won't launch until we satisfy all the legal issues and get regulatory approval.&#187;"In the future, we will be able to meet the needs of our clients," he concluded.

Recall that last week the Libra Association approved the charter of the organization and the composition of the board of directors, despite the withdrawal from the project PayPal, Mercado Pago, Visa, Stripe, Mastercard, Booking.com and eBay.

More than 1,500 companies have already expressed a desire to join the association. 180 of them fit all selection criteria.

Earlier, Marcus called himself a big fan of bitcoin and compared it to gold.
