After multiple bad news about various high-profile companies leaving the Libra Association, namely asterCard, Visa, PayPal, eBay and even Vodafone recently, Libra finally caught a break. Shopify, which is a Canadian-based e- commerce platform announced its plans to join the Libra Association, which backs the Libra stablecoin that is supposed to launch later this year.
Shopify CEO Tobi Lutk said the following on Twitter: “Shopify spends a lot of time thinking about how to make commerce better in parts of the world where money and banking could be far better. That’s why we decided to become a member of the Libra Association”.
Lutk also explained the decision to hitch Shopify’s wagon to Libra by saying that it was made in the light of future potential rather than heard movement.
