According to the publication, Facebook also plans to launch “physical portals”, through which users will be able to acquire a newstablecoin called GlobalCoin.
It is assumed that a specialized structure has been created to manage GlobalCoin. Facebook is currently negotiating withvarious financial institutions and technology companies whose resources will be used by developers.
The publication also claims that the company involves third-party organizations to perform the function of the nodes in itsnetwork. However, for the opportunity to become a member of the network, they will presumably have to spend up to $10 million. Successful candidates will be able to appoint one representative each in the project unit.
The decentralized network at the launch stage is expected to consist of 100 nodes, which will allow Facebook to attract at least$1 billion investment to develop the project.
Earlier in June, it was reported that the company had held talks with the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission.GlobalCoin was the topic of discussion, and as stated, the CFTC was going to find out whether the coin falls under its regulation.
