Five major companies pull-out of the Libra Association

Updated on

Following Friday’s news of the pull-out of five major companies (Visa, Mastercard, eBay, Stripe, and PayPal) from the Libra Association, please find below Alex Adelman’s commentary:

“Libra is one of the best validators of bitcoin to date. There is a clear place in the world for a stablecoin that can connect the world through a digitally native currency in a more efficient way. Facebook already has 2B+ users across IG, WhatsApp, and Messenger without any partners. If Libra has real staying power, it shouldn’t need Visa, Mastercard, eBay, Stripe, or PayPal to succeed.” 

— Alex Adelman, CEO and Co-founder of bitcoin rewards company, Lolli
