<h2>Blockchain Capital To Develop ‘Equitable Payment System’</h2>

<h2>Libra Association Revitalizing</h2>
In its initial days, a number of global companies like MasterCard, PayPal, Visa, Stripe, eBay and many more became the founding members of the association. 

But later, the association started experiencing regulatory pressure globally, therefore, many of its members left Libra. 

In the year 2020, Libra revitalized itself as it integrated many of the new members like Checkout.com and Shopify in its governing body.

Libra Association had planned to integrate at least 100 members in its governing body, but presently, the number has reached to 30 only.

A few days ago, the Facebook-backed project appointed the former CEO of HSBC, Jame Emmett as the managing director of Libra Networks LLC.
