More Libra woes:
EBay, Stripe and Mastercard drop out of Facebook's Libra Association - TechCrunch
Oof - a week after PayPal announced plans to part ways with Facebook's Libra cryptocurrency project and the related association of the same name, three more names are reportedly breaking away: eBay, Stripe and Mastercard. (Update: and now Visa!)
In a comment to TechCrunch, a Stripe spokesperson leaves the door open for them to potentially work with Libra in the future - but not right now:
"Stripe is supportive of projects that aim to make online commerce more accessible for people around the world. Libra has this potential. We will follow its progress closely and remain open to working with the Libra Association at a later stage."
