Facebook is only establishing an alternative currency, which major banks will be participating in if it gets off the ground.

Libra is not a threat as long as Facebook plays well with regulators and various nations’ tax offices. In addition, Libra will be run by a spin-off company, not directly by Facebook.

Apple is potentially going to cut EMV out of the loop.
