Libra Will be a Tipping Point for Money

Facebook’s Libra initiative will also serve as a tipping point for funds. Katie Haun, who recently spoke with Bloomberg, sounds optimistic about Libra’s vision. According to Haun, in the next ten years, the Libra project will shape the way we use and send money. The money will go digital, just like music, books, and shopping have gone over the years.

The Celo alliance much like Libra also envisions a robust stablecoin system that can alter the monarchy of the age-old traditional financial model in place.

Libra Will Capture the Interests of Other Entrants

Haun adds that Facebook Libra and Celo will both inspire other top players in the space to dive into the market because everyone today needs to carry out money transfers.

“Eventually, clients will be the biggest beneficiaries because they will realize that they don’t have to depend on middlemen for funds transfers.”
