Facebook要研發自己的數字貨幣範例
Facebook has reportedly set up a fintech company dubbed Libra Networks in Switzerland. The move clearly correlates with the social media giant’s Project Libra.
據報道Facebook已經在瑞士開了一家名爲Libra Networks的金融科技公司，這一舉動明顯與這家社交網絡巨頭的天秤座計劃有關。The focus of the fintech is on the blockchain, payments, data analytics, and investing.
這家金融科技公司關注的是區塊鏈、支付、數據分析和投資。Libra Networks, which was registered in Geneva on May 2, will provide financial and technology services. Also in its wheelhouse will be developing related hardware and software.
Libra Networks公司於5月2日在日內瓦註冊成立，將提供資金和技術服務，其核心機構也將開發相關的硬件和軟件。
Famed investor Michael Novogratz recently called Project Libra “stunningly important” to the crypto space.
知名投資者Michael Novogratz最近說天秤座計劃對這個加密領域“極其重要”。Given Facebook’s history of boasting about its projects, you’d think it would be bragging about Project Libra. That’s not the case. The Switzerland move was done with no fanfare such as company press releases or blog posts. This seems to be the way Facebook has chosen to roll out its Project Libra.
鑑於Facebook有過吹捧自家項目的歷史，你會認爲這次也是在吹噓天秤座計劃，那你就錯了。這次瑞士的項目沒有進行公司新聞或博客的宣傳。Facebook這次選擇低調推出天秤座計劃。
It’s keeping close to the chest even where the project will be launched. In December, it hinted at plans to set up shop in India. Early reports suggest Zuckerberg’s cryptocurrency will facilitate overseas remittance payments for Indian WhatsApp users.
這個項目甚至連地點都是保密的，12月份該公司暗示過計劃要在印度開店。早期的報道表明扎克伯格的加密貨幣將爲印度WhatsApp的用戶提供海外匯款業務。Facebook launched Project Libra more than a year ago to allow money transfers between WhatsApp users. Over time, however, the scope of the project has expanded. That includes the decision to include e-commerce payments on Facebook and other websites as well as rewards for viewing ads, shopping online, and interacting with content.
一年多以前Facebook推出了天秤座計劃，允許WhatsApp用戶之間轉賬。一段時間以後該項目的業務範圍拓展了，包括在Facebook和其他網站上進行電子商務支付、觀看廣告得獎勵、網上購物和內容互動。When all is done, Facebook hopes to have a stablecoin that is pegged to the value of a local currency.
推出該項目之後，Facebook希望擁有能與當地幣值掛鉤的穩定幣。
