Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told lawmakers that the social media giant will not "be a part of launching the Libra payments system anywhere in the world" unless U.S. regulators give the green light.

Zuckerberg emphasized that Libra is not intended to compete with sovereign currencies. Instead, the Libra Association will work with the Federal Reserve and other central banks to make sure it does not interfere with monetary policies, he said.

Libra could serve as counter to Chinese Digital Currency, says Zuckerberg. The project would ensure that the U.S. stays a financial leader globally.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told lawmakers that the company would pull out of the Libra Association in the event the consortium launched its proposed cryptocurrency without all needed regulatory approvals.

Calibra, the Facebook subsidiary developing a wallet for Libra, “is going to have strong identity [verification] and work with all the regulators to make sure we’re at the standard of AML or CFT that people expect.” But he added a caveat: “I can’t speak for the whole association, you have my commitment from Facebook.”
