Libra Cryptocurrency: Can Facebook Dominate in Money Transfers?
Karl Schamotta, chief market strategist at Cambridge Global Payments, said even though Facebook’s Libra would be a unified currency, “each country in the world has idiosyncratic regulatory regimes, fragmented banking standards, and a whole lot of things that throw sand in the gears that prevents the smooth transfer of money.”

Libra: A dramatic call to regulatory action
Libra: A dramatic call to regulatory action
Facebook’s proposed creation of Libra is a wake-up call. It makes inescapable the need for rapid, international coordination of financial regulation. Without mechanisms to ensure consistent application of coherent global rules, we may find ourselves in a world of “low-quality finance havens” that exist to evade financial regulations—not unlike the “tax havens” that already exist merely to evade taxes.

Facebook’s Libra cryptocurrency is part of a disturbing financial trend
"Louis Brandeis said of the early-20th-century trusts that “both the financial concentration and the combinations which they have served were, in the main, against the public interest.” Big banks and big tech may rely on fancy algorithms and apps instead of railroads, but his words are just as true today."

Crypto Lobby Fights to Contain Backlash From Facebook’s Libra

The legislation would amend a U.S. statute originally meant to prevent Americans from minting their own physical currencies. The amendment would also make it illegal for someone to create a digital currency, intended to be used as money, whose value is based on assets held in reserve.

What is Stablecoin?: A Survey on Price Stabilization Mechanisms for Decentralized Payment Systems
This paper gathers various stablecoin price stabilization mechanisms, dividing the methods into four collateral types (fiat, crypto, commodity, and non-collateralized) and two layers (protocol and application) to show that non-collateralized stablecoin on the application layer is the simplest approach for implementation.
