Looking to get back on track for its planned 2020 release, Libra is pushing a new word at the forefront of its latest attempt to get critics on board with its digital currency mission: compliance.
Visa, Mastercard, and a handful of other companies have followed in the footsteps of PayPal, abandoning the Facebook-led Libra Association amid harsh regulatory criticism surrounding the planned cryptocurrency offering.
