Diem / Libra

Libra, later Diem, was Meta/Facebook’s planned global payment coin. It never launched. The Diem Association sold assets to Silvergate and wound down in 2022.

What happened

Facebook announced Libra in June 2019. Regulatory opposition blocked a public launch. In January 2022 the association sold assets to Silvergate and shut down.

What failed

This is a political and regulatory abandonment, not a rug pull.

Current status

There is no official consumer Diem coin to buy. DEX tokens using those names should be treated as unrelated.

What users should do

  • Do not buy unofficial Libra or Diem tokens claiming to be the Meta project.

Lessons

  • A large corporate backer does not guarantee a launch.
