In an interview with CoinDesk, the twins said they were considering joining the Libra Association, the governing body set up by Facebook to oversee its soon to be launched ‘cryptocurrency.’ “We’re definitely looking at it in earnest and we’re excited about the project,” Cameron said.

Since announcing it’s ‘cryptocurrency’ in June, Facebook has ruffled feathers with some politicians and bankers calling its project into question.

And more importantly, what, if anything, this will mean for the wider cryptocurrency world.
