For example, the social-media giant suggested underpinning Libra with a weighted basket of currencies, but translating digital coins back into different currencies is “not simple,” he said. “It's really naïve.”R3, which was founded as a consortium of top-tier banks, is working with more than 300 partners to build an open-source blockchain platform called Corda, as well as a paid version for businesses.Libra has drawn intense scrutiny from government regulators, prompting launch partners including Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal to walk back their support. Lawmakers have grilled Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other executives on whether they can be trusted to protect users' privacy, handle vast amounts of financial data, and other issues.
