PayPal has security and regulatory concerns.
In what could be a lethal blow to Facebook Inc.’s controversial Libra project, PayPal Holdings Inc. said it is withdrawing from a group of companies supporting the global digital currency.
A person close to PayPal said it is concerned Facebook has not done enough to respond to concerns that the currency could be susceptible to money laundering, according to the FT. The Libra project is headed by David Marcus, who was previously PayPal’s president. When Libra was unveiled in June, Facebook described it as an easy, inexpensive way for consumers to transmit money globally via digital wallets on their smartphones without the need for a bank. An independent, third-party organization, the Libra Association, was established to govern the currency.
