Speaking of Libra, I haven't heard anything about the project in a few months at least. Is Facebook still going ahead with it or what? That's not meant to spark an off-topic discussion; I'm just curious, because there was so much hype around it that fizzled out very quickly.
I also haven't heard much about it for a while now, it's possible very much has not been happening on the promotion end as they have been facing regulation issues since 2019. Libra recently appointed a former General Counsel of the U.S department of Homeland security as their chief legal officer - link. This could indicate that they are still facing huge legal issues and need a prominent figure in their defense, this is the most recent of a number of prominent appointments. It's possible the project is still being well developed, but most of the hype has certainly cooled down.
Another issue Libra might face is more Central Banks are looking to create their own CBDC, which would serve the purpose Libra was created for within those countries.
