Facebook's cryptocurrency is set to launch this year. What could it mean for the global financial system?
FM
If 2018 was the year of “weeding out” frivolous projects and empty promises in the cryptocurrency world, 2019 is the year of institutional entrance into crypto. So far, the year has seen the entrance of several major players into the cryptocurrency industry--last month, JP Morgan announced the launch of “JPM Coin.” However, the cryptocurrency will be used only inside of the bank--the outside world won’t have any direct access to it.
It is said that Facebook’s cryptocurrency will be used in tandem with WhatsApp, the encrypted messaging platform that the company owns. A report from the New York Times reported that “the company is working on a coin that users of WhatsApp, which Facebook owns, could send to friends and family instantly.”
However, it’s important to note that Facebook itself still hasn’t come out and said exactly how its cryptocurrency will work and what it will be used for. The New York Times’ information came from “five people briefed on the effort who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of confidentiality agreements.”
Indeed, despite the hype around Facebook’s cryptocurrency, the details of the project are still largely unknown.
Here’s what we do know about the project so far, and what it could mean for the global crypto, data, forex, and remittance industries.
“The news of Facebook launching their own cryptocurrency has been spreading fast, but at this point it's still mostly all unconfirmed,” wrote Mark Moss, Founder and Market Analyst at Market Disruptors and Signal Profits, in an email to Finance Magnates. “We have seen a few high-level news sources run with stories but they have unconfirmed sources.”

However, Moss did point out that “we have seen Facebook making big moves recently - acquiring some high-level industry insiders to help run the operation as well as a reported 50 or more blockchain developers.”
Still, it’s impossible to know exactly how the cryptocurrency will be used or who it will be marketed. However, “it's rumoured that India might be its first target because India has some of the highest remittance services in the world.”
“By putting the Facebook coin into WhatsApp, it could allow Global participants to transfer money quickly and for almost no cost. This would tap into the 20 trillion dollar payment remittance industry.”
A Growing Number of Messaging Apps Are Creating Their Own Cryptocurrencies
Facebook is the latest of several messaging platforms that have made the leap into the cryptocurrency world. Encrypted messaging app Telegram made history last year with its private ICO, which raised over $1.7 billion. Signal, another encrypted messaging app, is also reportedly working on a coin of its own. South Korea’s Kakao and Japan’s Line messaging apps have also been developing their own coins.
However, it is important to understand that the new Facebook coin won’t be a cryptocurrency in the sense of the word that most people understand. “While this coin would technically be considered a cryptocurrency, I think it's important to understand that there is a major difference with other popular coins such as Bitcoin and Ethereum,” Moss explained.
“Bitcoin and Ethereum are open source networks that are completely decentralized. What this means is that there is no central party that controls the network and therefore there is no one that could sensor transactions, stop them, block them, or reverse them. Being an open source Network allows everybody to view the code to understand exactly how it works.”
“It therefore gives us what we call a ‘trustless’ environment - meaning we do not have to trust the essential administrator because the code is open and everybody can see it. Bitcoin and Ethereum are also ‘permissionless’, meaning anybody can join and use the network without permission.”
“These features: trustless, permissionless, Censorship Resistant and Immutability are what make Bitcoin and Ethereum so valuable.”
Facebook’s “Cryptocurrency” is Just Another Centralized Payment System
“Facebook's coin, like the recently-launched JPM coin, are on the complete other end of the spectrum,” Moss continued. “They are closed-off private networks. Because they are closed-off and private, we have to trust Facebook and JPM coins, as opposed to Bitcoins trustless features. This also means that because they are centrally controlled, Facebook or JPM coin could freeze your accounts at any time, block your transactions, reverse your transactions, or completely shut you off the network.”
Nick Spanos is, founder of bitcoin trading floor Bitcoin Center NYC, echoed Moss’ sentiments in an email to FinanceMagnates. “Based on all available reports, Facebook Coin is nothing more than a centralized payment system,” similar to PayPal, Visa, or Venmo.

“Facebook is shilling its same old centralized technology that is a very far cry from the monetary revolution made possible by decentralization,” he continued. “Immutability comes from decentralization. Trust comes from decentralization...Facebook Coin is a clever marketing scheme, but appears to be more of a last ditch effort to remain relevant in the midst of this decentralization revolution,” Spanos continued.
“In light of the recent scandals around Facebook’s misuse of data, they should take more steps to protect user privacy rather than designing methods to further centralize their system to gather even more data on hundreds of millions of users.”
“This Is a Perfect Environment to Release a 100% Auditable and Surveillable Currency.”
Konstantin Brazhnik, Chief Technology Officer of the Juris Project.
However, Konstantin Brazhnik, Chief Technology Officer of the Juris Project, pointed out to Finance Magnates that Facebook’s illustrious data-gathering policies will likely not have significant negative effects on its cryptocurrency. “Facebook has no incentive to adhere to the counterculture ethos that surrounds cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum,” Brazhnik explained, referencing the decentralized, ‘trustless,’ and immutable aspects of the Bitcoin network.
In fact, “Facebook has managed to succeed exceptionally with plenty of bad press about its data sharing practices. Clearly its users are not that concerned or the value it delivers is worth the price of privacy.”
“This is a perfect environment to release a 100% auditable and surveillable currency,” he explained.
Indeed, “Any entity releasing a stable coin will be held to an exponentially higher standard than the US dollar in terms of AML and KYC capabilities. What better entity to deliver it than the one that knows all of the embarrassing moments and confessions of its own users.”
Additionally, Facebook’s cryptocurrency payment system could take its data-based advertising to a whole new level. “A fully surveillable stable coin would allow frictionless financial transactions that could be instantly auditable and AML/KYC compliant,” Brazhnik explained.
“Imagine seeing a Facebook marketplace ad for a house, clicking a button, and instantly owning it. A cryptocurrency paired with Facebook’s extensive knowledge of its members is a perfect environment in which to build frictionless financial vehicles which automatically qualify buyers and clears transactions...if data is the new oil, then Facebook is Saudi Arabia.”
Facebook’s Coin Could Revolutionize Remittances and Forex
Further, Facebook’s cryptocurrency--or a similar financial vehicle--could seriously take off if it manages to position itself as an easy vehicle for remittances and forex.
“In the US, we take our fiat currency for granted, after all, it is the de facto global reserve currency,” Brazhnik wrote. “However as soon as one steps a foot outside of the US borders, they feel the pain of global currencies that fluctuate with market and political forces. A Facebook or Telegram has the potential to smooth these volatilities in a way that consumers will flock to them just to avoid the uncomfortable and obsolete practice of fiat currency exchange.”
However, Facebook (or any similar system) will need to work out how its coin will be exchanged back into fiat currency in each given country before it can really act as a global vehicle for remittances and exchange.
Sandeep Todi, cofounder of remittances company REMITR, told Finance Magnates that, for example, “No bank in India will support conversions from crypto. Payments into India in INR need to be done using a special account called RDA (Rupee Drawing Account), which can only be opened with a Tier 1 bank (which in turn does not fancy working with crypto companies).”

Indeed, the details of Facebook’s currency still need to be fixed. However--if Facebook’s cryptocurrency manages to gain enough users, the world could change as a result.
