Libra - A ton of information on their website. A very interesting set of Founding Members.
FT Alphaville is doing a series on Libra coin, starting with Facebook’s Libra: blockchain, but without the blocks or chain, the introduction is funny “This is just one of a series of Alphaville posts on Libra coin, which we are calling Breaking the Zuck Buck, in which we will seek to show how nonsensical, pointless, stupid, risky, badly thought-out and blockchainless the whole thing is.”
