Most respondents to The Block’s 2020 Outlook Survey believe Libra, the cryptocurrency project begun by Facebook, won’t launch this year.
Of the 106 respondents – drawn from the worlds of venture capital investing, financial services, and the digital assets industry as a whole – 72 or 67.9% of them said “no” when asked whether Libra will launch in 2020. Thirty-four or 31.1% of participants said “yes.”
While The Block’s survey didn’t focus on the possible factors that might determine whether Libra goes live this year, recent news developments around the project hint at potential headwinds.
