Binance to compete with Facebook
The crypto project Venus announced by Binance earlier on Monday plans to create stablecoins and other virtual assets backed by fiat currencies around the world, thus setting up localized versions of Facebook’s Libra.
In the blog post, Binance invites global corporations, tech companies and governments to cooperate on the issue. It also urges other crypto companies with big DLT systems to join in to help developing countries, as well as developed ones, to create their own fiat-pegged stablecoins.
Binance has enough tools for launching Venus
The Binance team reminds the community that it already has enough resources to launch the Venus project – its own Binance Chain network, several exchanges running around the world (Binance US to be launched in November this year too), as well as its native coin BNB that is currently in the top ten list on CoinMarketCap.
Besides, recently, launched two stablecoins on Binance Chain – BTCB (backed by BTC) and BGBP (backed by the sterling pound, GBP).
Binance promises to provide all the necessary technical assistance for building Venus, create the necessary infrastructure and solve issues to do with compliance.
The Binance community responds
In the comment thread under the Twitter post, the community provided a polar reaction to the news.
Many are wondering how the launch of Venus will impact BNB, at the same time reminding that so far Libra Binance plans to compete with is facing a lot of issues to do with regulation and compliance.
@cz_binance what will this do for $BNB ? Will #BNB still be required when this comes to town? Reassure me please sir. #Binance @binance
