Facebook first announced its international digital currency project in June 2019.

Initially, the launch at the global level was expected in the first quarter of 2020. However, after criticism of the authorities and financial regulators, investors began to lose interest in Libra.
In May, Facebook had already renamed its crypto wallet Calibra to Novi, and at the end of November, unofficial information appeared that the launch of the crypto wallet from Facebook could take place in a limited format in January 2021.
