Governments across the globe are experiencing a hard time making choices when it comes to crypto assets. If they do not react soon, it can prove vulnerable for their country, and if they overregulate it, they can risk losing benefits to the economy. As the launch of<a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/crypto/facebooks-libra-needs-to-focus-on-the-us-first-world-later/"> Facebook cryptocurrency libra</a> is near, the European Union is finding it hard to figure out what to do about it.

A<a href="http://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/E-9-2019-003614-ASW_EN.pdf"> memo</a> released on February 19th by the<a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/crypto/european-union-restricting-stablecoins-from-entering-market-till-risks-are-addressed/"> European Commission</a> noted that Libra association has been not able to answer all the questions from the EU. The memo was released by Dombrovskis, the Executive Vice-President on behalf of the European Commission. Thus, the information provided by Libra so far is considered insufficient for determining the currency’s exact nature as well as its relation with current EU laws.

The Executive Vice-President further noted that the European Commission is all in to act swiftly for harnessing the potential of crypto and regulating it. The statement reaffirms their previous declaration which stated that the commission would police crypto and monitor its potential risk to the economy of the region.
