Checkout.com Libra Partnership
London-based payments processor, Checkout.com, becomes a member of the Libra Association to help it in establishing a decentralized payment system. It seems that Libra is now at its final stage to launch stablecoins in a series after facing many legal troubles.
In an announcement published on April 28, the CEO and founder of Checkout.com inform the users that the company is joining the Libra Association because both companies have an aim to benefit people by a transparent and trusted blockchain technology. The addition of a renowned payment network to Libra’s list is good news for Facebook’s crypto project. As previous Libra’s giants left it due to strict scrutiny on the part of US regulators. These tech giants included Mastercard, Visa, and Stripe.
The CEO of London-based payments provider, Guillaume Pousaz, said:
“In the Libra Association, we found a group of peers that share in this philosophy and who demonstrated a thoughtful and realistic approach to how blockchain can be leveraged for the greater good. The Libra project holds the promise of increasing financial inclusion for billions of unbanked people, empowering them to participate in the digital economy and reducing disparities.”
Libra now Backed by 24 Companies
After the announcement of Checkout.com to join Facebook’s crypto project, Libra now is backed by 24 firms present across the world. Recently, the members’ list added a non-profit Heifer International.
Libra had a long journey in facing legal complexities and pressure from the US authorities. First, they announced to create a cryptocurrency Libra by setting an aim to bank unbanked people. But now, they have a plan to roll out stablecoins in a series, and Checkout.com will help the association in launching fiat-pegged crypto coins. “I look forward to working with our Libra Association peers to develop this new network and help shape the impact it will have on global commerce,” Pousaz added.
Recently, it is reported that Libra revised its whitepaper and made many significant changes to it to comply with regulators across the world.
