To replace sovereign currencies senators were skeptical to say the least take a look consume david marcus head of facebooks lever a subsidiary for a face to panel of senators who werent prepared to pull their punches or facebook is dangerous. After all the Times Facebook is abuse the Publics Trust and you know that you really think people should trust facebook with their hard earned money trust this primordial and weve made mistakes in the past and we have been working in our continuing to work really hard to get better and Central Banks worldwide have raised concerns that libor could become a rival to sovereign currencies david marcus out and out tonight that was facebook saying and promised the Senate Banking committee that the crypto currency would not be in anyones digital wallet until Global Regulators were satisfied. We will take the time to get this right we expect the review of libra to be among the most extensive ever we are fully committed to working with regulators here and around the world and let me be clear and unambiguous facebook will not offer the leader a Digital Currency until we have fully addressed regulators concerned and received for approvals. Marcuss appearance before the committee came a day after the us treasury secretary Steven Nugent said his department had very serious concerns libra could be used by criminals its clear u. S. Authorities are giving their homegrown web giants plans a closer look. Lets go to our financial correspondent new york yes korda there yes there was some pointed remarks in this hearing what does it really mean for facebooks plans i mean could they just go ahead with libra if they wanted to do they need this approval of facebook and the partnering companies some facebook is not doing this project alone might not need the blessing from senate but theyre clearly would need the green light to from regulators and its not just the congress that is so concerned we also got some criticism from u. S. President don and from from the head of the treasury also from the fed chairman and theyre worth clearly some heated remarks and theres some hearing one senator actually compared to facebook was told was there was a small child to place was met just and eventually burns down the house so obviously there was quite some skepticism towards the libra and of course its always a show by a lot of this congressional testimony but this does seem like an odd time to be pushing a crypto currency for facebook when skepticism over big tech firms and especially facebook seems to be really growing in the u. S. Yeah the timing is not picture perfect but on the other side all the. Debates on big tech names and their market power wont go away anytime soon so i guess the environment doesnt really get better from this point and david marcus he made an interesting point he said that it might be better for the u. S. And should be trying to get a video ship when it comes to a Digital Currency and payments so that not some other country jumps in ny guess that was a hint that china could be one of those players so we will see if facebook can convince them regulators and put it to sions was this argument but the whole controversy actually brought also some easiness to other crypto currencies bitcoins for example just within 2 trading days lost about 20 percent in value and because going through another rough ride weve seen this week quarter joining us from new york thinking and.
