脸书的天秤座密码货币可能在欧洲被封锁

2019-09-13 18:49   美国新闻网   - 

 

       在被批评为“货币主权”的潜在风险之后,Facebook今天推出新的全球货币的计划遇到了新的障碍。

       法国财政部长Bruno Le Maire今天在巴黎举行的全球区块链政策论坛上发表主题演讲,反对数字资金,即天秤座。他表示不允许以目前的形式在欧洲进行发展。

       “所有这些关于天秤座的担忧都是严重的。所以我想说清楚这一点:在这些条件下,我们不能授权在欧洲土地上开发天秤座,”他在活动中说,由经济组织管理合作与发展(经合组织)。

       Le Maire参考了占主导地位的社交网络,警告“全球拥有超过20亿用户的单一行为者”可能会“实现货币私有化”。

他在英国“ 金融时报”的翻译中补充说:“这种货币的运作失败,在其储备管理方面可能造成相当大的金融失调。” 勒迈尔表示,他担心天秤座有可能被剥削用于洗钱或恐怖主义融资。

       Facebook 在六月份公布了其对天秤座的计划。它被用作现有应用程序(包括Messenger和WhatsApp)内置的数字货币,预计将在2020年推出。

       该公司表示,这种货币将被保存在一个名为Calibra的数字钱包中,并且被设想为任何人只能通过智能手机和互联网连接转移资金的低成本方式。

       加密货币生态系统不会完全由Facebook控制,而是由瑞士天秤座协会的集体管理。创始成员包括Visa,Mastercard,Paypal,Spotify和Coinbase。该组织表示,其目标是让天秤座“被世界各地广泛接受”。

       尽管雄心勃勃,但该提案得到了全球政界人士和监管机构的热烈欢迎,其中许多人在去年数据隐私丑闻之后仍然公开批评该网站,其中包括严重违反其用户数据。

       媒体出口欧洲1说,Le Maire是第一个公开抨击这些想法的人之一,他们必须对数字资金进行限制并引发对金融混乱的担忧。

       “它不能也不能成为主权货币,具有货币的所有属性。主权方面必须掌握在国家手中,而不是私人公司应对私人利益,”欧洲最高财政部长在时间。

       他不是一个人,因为美国政界人士在美国参议院银行委员会7月16日出席会议期间排队质疑Calibra部门负责人大卫马库斯。

       “我们知道我们需要花时间来做到这一点。我想明确一点:在我们完全解决监管问题并获得适当的批准之前,Facebook不会提供天秤座数字货币,” 马库斯说,虽然大多是不必要的,但是平息忧虑。

       路透社报道,民主党参议员谢罗德·布朗(Sherrod Brown)曾一度回击,“Facebook在丑闻后通过丑闻表明它不值得我们信任。” “我们很难让他们有机会让他们试验人们的银行账户,”他补充说。

       共和党参议员玛莎·麦克萨利(Martha McSally)说:“ 这种反对意见是两党合作的,而不是清理你的房子,现在你正在进入另一种商业模式。”

       “独立报”在Le Maire的评论后获得的一份声明中,天秤座的通讯和政策负责人Dante Disparte说:“自宣布推出Libra项目以来近三个月内,我们已成为世界上最受关注的金融科技[金融技术]努力。“

       Disparte 通过电子邮件告诉“新闻周刊”:“我们......故意设计了一条长期的发布跑道来进行这些对话,教育利益相关者并将他们的反馈纳入我们的设计中。

       “天秤座协会及其成员致力于与监管机构合作,实现安全,透明和以消费者为中心的天秤座项目实施。我们认识到区块链是一种新兴技术,政策制定者必须仔细考虑其应用如何适应他们的金融体系政策。“


FACEBOOK'S LIBRA CRYPTOCURRENCY COULD BE BLOCKED IN EUROPE AFTER TOP POLITICIAN SAYS HE 'CANNOT AUTHORIZE' ITS DEVELOPMENT

       Facebook's plan to roll out a new global currency hit a fresh hurdle today after it was criticized as a potential risk to "monetary sovereignty."

       French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire spoke out against the digital money, known as Libra, in a keynote address during the Global Blockchain Policy Forum in Paris today. He indicated its development would not be allowed to take place in Europe in its current form.

       "All these concerns around Libra are serious. So I want to say this with a lot of clarity: In these conditions, we cannot authorize the development of Libra on European soil," he said at the event, being run by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

       Referencing the dominant social network, Le Maire warned against the "possible privatization of money" by a "single actor that has more than two billion users on the planet."

       Translated by the Financial Times, he added: "Any failure in the functioning of this currency, in the management of its reserves could create considerable financial disorders." Le Maire said he feared Libra could potentially be exploited for money laundering or terrorist financing.

       The company said the currency would be held in a digital wallet called Calibra, and was being envisioned as a low-cost way for anyone to transfer money armed only with a smartphone and internet connection.Facebook revealed its plans for Libra back in June. It was pitched it as a digital currency built into existing applications, including Messenger and WhatsApp, and is expected to launch by 2020.

       The cryptocurrency ecosystem would not be under the full control of Facebook, instead being managed by a collective based in Switzerland, The Libra Association. Founding members included Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, Spotify and Coinbase. The group said that its aim was to have Libra be "widely accepted around the world."

       Despite the lofty ambitions, the proposal was met with a frosty reception from politicians and regulators across the globe, many of whom remained openly critical of the site in the wake of its data privacy scandals last year, which included a massive breach of its users' data.

       Le Maire was among the first to openly bash the ideas, telling media outlet Europe 1 that limits had to be placed on the digital money and raising concerns about financial disruption.

       "It cannot and must not become a sovereign currency, with all of the attributes of a currency. The aspect of sovereignty must stay in the hands of states and not private companies which respond to private interests," the top European finance minister said at the time.

       He was not alone, as American politicians lined up to question David Marcus, the head of the Calibra division, during a July 16 appearance before the U.S. Senate's banking committee.

       "We know we need to take the time to get this right. And I want to be clear: Facebook will not offer the Libra digital currency until we have fully addressed regulatory concerns and received appropriate approvals," Marcus said while, mostly unnecessary, trying to calm concerns.

       "Facebook has demonstrated through scandal after scandal that it doesn't deserve our trust," Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown hit back at one point, Reuters reported. "We'd be crazy to give them a chance to let them experiment with people's bank accounts," he added.

       The backlash turned out to be bipartisan, with Republican Senator Martha McSally saying: "Instead of cleaning up your house, now you're launching into another business model."

       In a statement obtained by The Independent after Le Maire's comments, Libra's head of communications and policy, Dante Disparte, said: "In the nearly three months since the intent to launch the Libra project was announced, we have become the world's most scrutinized fintech [financial technology] effort."

       Disparte told Newsweek via email: "We... deliberately designed a long launch runway to have these conversations, educate stakeholders and incorporate their feedback in our design.

       "The Libra Association and its members are committed to working with regulatory authorities to achieve a safe, transparent and consumer-focused implementation of the Libra project. We recognize that blockchain is an emerging technology, and that policymakers must carefully consider how its applications fit into their financial system policies."
