In June 2019, Facebook presented its white paper to tap into the crypto space with its Libra project.

Governments have started studying the potential impact that Libra may have on global finance and their own monetary policies.

On the basis of the Libra announcement, some countries have reportedly been developing their own sovereign cryptocurrency, including China and the Pacific island nation of the Marshall Islands.
As it has been reported that China is developing a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) to be categorized to its renminbi over the past few years and the currency is “almost ready” for launch, China has not officially disclosed any actual plans so far.
