Facebook Corporation presented to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) a report on the results of activities in the second quarter of this year, where they noted that their own cryptocurrency of the Libra social network will not be launched in the near future, and besides there is a possibility that this will never happen .
Facebook explains this by strong pressure on the project from regulators.

Our expenses in connection with participation in the Libra Association, the development and marketing of relevant products have increased, but our investments may not be successful. All of these points may affect our business, reputation or financial results, ”the document says.
