This had been rumors since the last bull-market and facebook even banned cryptocurrency advertisement temporarily which speculated that Zuckerberg is starting to learn and study more about crypto and blockchain tech.  Would be a good step for crypto since facebook is one of the most famous social media platform, and it will help on awareness and adaptation of crypto and blockchain technology.

Would be waiting for further and official statement of the CEO about this. Still worth sharing and reading.

The truth is right in front of us and we choose to ignore it. Facebook has no interest in crypto just like other big companies(Amazon, Apple etc), but they are all only interested in the tech behind Bitcoin : The Blockchain.

Don't expect them to suddenly declare their support for BTC anytime soon.

There is a big possibility that Facebook does not want to announce anything prematurely...maybe at the right time when things are clearer and with infrastructure already ready then Mark can say about it. Facebook can just be careful as it does not want to push people to conclude something adversarial on this possible move. I am sure that Facebook is really looking into the blockchain and cryptocurrency development and see how the social media conglomerate can fit in and make things better. Once things are ready, this can be creating a big splash in the corporate world and in the world of cryptocurrency because we know that Facebook is big, influential and very powerful...but then again it is the marketplace that can decide on this matter.

It's true that rumors about Facebook will issue their own coins since last year and until now there is no real evidence from Facebook to develop the coin.

In my opinion Facebook will indeed issue its own coins, but Facebook itself does not want to be serious about it and I think in the future when digital currencies become popularity, Facebook will really be serious about this Facebook coin.

This has been a long time rumor but the fact is actually visible.
If Facebook would really adopt cryptocurrency and would launch its own coin, then why does it have to ban crypto ads?
If we'll just figure things out well first, Facebook doesn't need any coin because it stands firm on its own.

JPM Coin and Facebook coin are only the beginning. Rumours say that Nike is planning to launch their own crypto: https://www.ccn.com/nikes-surprise-crypto-play-could-steal-facebooks-thunder

Expect more multinationals and big companies to release their own crypto in the future, they've figured out a way to create a new revenue stream. Corporate coins will be the new "shitcoins" polluting the crypto market, mark my words.

The proposed Facebook coin will have positive impact on crypto adoption, Facebook has billions of users and they could easily integrate a crypto-payment option within every account. The Facebook coin will however not be so Mich of what we except of crypto currency as there will be too much centralization and control

That's just a rumor, like it is often said that Telegram has raised a lot of money and is preparing to release TON. But there is no confirmation from the developers of big companies that they will release their own coins. I think until the government makes specific rules for crypto, big companies will to join and release their own coins. Legal issues are a real barrier for large companies entering the crypto market.

It's probably easier for a company to release its own coin right now while there's no pesky regulations and rules which limit what they're allowed to do with their coin. A majority of businesses likely don't have any reason, need, or want to produce their own crypto. Most of the time it would be a drain on the company to finance such a project and they'd have issues integrating their crypto into their respective platform. That, and they'd have to consider whether it would be worth purchasing the extra hardware to maintain their own crypto's infrastructure. Telegram is one of the applications that have a company which isn't interested in cryptos, no matter what rumors you may hear. It's probably someone conflating normal telegram crypto groups with some idea that the devs behind Telegram are going to make their own.
