David Marcus, the head of Facebook Finance (F2), met with regulators in Washington in early September. Marcus explained the importance of crypto in expanding access to financial products and emphasized the benefits of Novi, the Diem payment application. People familiar with the matter said Facebook and its partners still face scrutiny by some Treasury officials who believe these plans may undermine the stability of the financial system.
