The Senate will hold a hearing next month on Facebooks Libra currency
"On Wednesday, the Senate Banking Committee announced it will be holding a hearing next month to question witnesses over Facebooks new cryptocurrency initiative, Libra.
The hearing, entitled Examining Facebooks Proposed Digital Currency and Data Privacy Considerations, is set for July 16th, but the committee has yet to nail down who will be testifying. The plans come shortly after Facebook formally announced its new cryptocurrency and blockchain ecosystem, Libra. Facebooks plan was met with harsh criticism from lawmakers, as well as calls for investigation into the potential consumer risks." (theverge)
