President Donald Trump on Thursday night warned Facebook over its plan to create a digital currency, the Libra, a move that poses a new obstacle to the company’s cryptocurrency ambitions.

“Facebook Libra’s ‘virtual currency’ will have little standing or dependability. If Facebook and other companies want to become a bank, they must seek a new Banking Charter and become subject to all Banking Regulations, just like other Banks,” Trump said in a series of posts on Twitter.
