Facebook will announce its cryptocurrency project by the end of this month. The employees who were working on the project will get their salary in the form of new currency. Facebook has appointed former PayPal executive David Marcus to start exploring opportunities with blockchain, the technological underpinning for cryptocurrency. It is also developing its own digital currency that users can store, trade, and exchange for regular currency. The report also says that it may build physical ATM-like machines where users can buy the currency.
