Actually, Facebook is launching two cryptocurrencies. As part of June 18's big reveal of the social network's ambitious plan to create a global fiat-backed blockchain currency, Facebook said that in addition to Libra, the project will also issue a "Libra investment token."
Unlike Libra - a currency that will be broadly available to the public - the investment token is a security, according to Facebook. As such, the token will be sold to a much more exclusive audience: the founding corporate members of the project's governing consortium, known as the Libra Association and accredited investors.
And while Libra will be backed by a basket of fiat currencies and government securities, interest earned on that collateral will go to holders of the investment tokens. As previously reported ahead of the official announcement, each of the 28 companies that Facebook recruited to run validating nodes as founding members of the consortium invested at least $10 million for the privilege. The investment token is what they received as a financial reward.

Currently, Bitcoin (BTC) is staggering below the $9,300 level after it dropped from $9,400. According to Jins, the in-house crypto analyst at CoinNess.com, within the last 24 hours, the total trading volume of cryptocurrencies has slumped to $52.8 billion from $75.9 billion, with a large gap of $23.1 billion. However, the total market cap only climbed by 1.6%. During the same period, the market share of the BTC market cap has rebounded to 57.22% from 57.04%, which can be called 'bucking rising.'
Nevertheless, in the context of poor overall performance, the BTC price is stalling below the $10,000 mark, hence the risk of short-term chasing ways straight to higher prices is increasing. If the large-cap cryptocurrencies and other altcoins are expected to be weak on their performance, the duration of BTC's own uprising will lead to the biggest risk.
Considering that recent risk factors are growing, the USDT index used to judge bulls' power is also slipping on and on. The USDT OTC price index reads 100.413, while its exchange-based price index marks 100.255. Under the condition of a significantly lower premium, the market cap of cryptocurrencies that are capable of making a large profit is small, which makes it difficult to bring profit opportunities for most crypto investors.
