Facebook acquires a blockchain company

Facebook has long since made clear its interest in the cryptocurrency market. Therefore, it is not uncommon to see the social network begin to make some movements in this market. To take their first step, it has already been made official that they have bought a company specialized in blockchain. It is a British firm with the name Chainspace. A purchase that several media have already confirmed.

Although several media have already confirmed this purchase by the firm, for now there are no details. Therefore, nothing is known about how much the social network has paid for this company.

This purchase is the first obvious move by Facebook. Since the firm had previously shown interest in blockchain and cryptocurrencies. But for now there had been no relevant action on his part in this market. This is undoubtedly an important first step for the American firm. So it could be a step in the development of its own cryptocurrency, something that was announced long ago.

But at the moment the state of this project is unknown. Months ago it was announced that Facebook wanted to launch its own cryptocurrency and they started working on this project. The acquisition of this company may be a key step in the process.

For this reason, we should be attentive to the development of the operation, of which we hope to have details very soon. Since without a doubt, this could be a warning that the cryptocurrency of the social network would be closer than expected.
