Facebook Preparing Its Own Cryptocurrency For WhatsApp
The well-known and the most used instant messaging application, of course, I am talking about none other than WhatsApp will soon get its own cryptocurrency. Yes, the social network giant Facebook is preparing its own virtual cryptocurrency for all its users which will simply allow all its users to transfer money to each other.

And this blockchain division is led by David Marcus, who was the former CEO of PayPal and was part of the board of the Coinbase exchange house.
But, shortly after the rumors have surfaced, the social network giant Facebook was seriously considering launching its own virtual currency which will simply allow all its users to transfer money with each other.
