Facebook-backed Diem Association would dissolve and sell the intellectual property and other assets related to its planned cryptocurrency network to Silvergate Capital Corporation for $182 million.
The "winding down" will begin in the coming weeks.
It was back in June 2019 when Facebook unveiled its cryptocurrency project called Libra, which would be backed by an international consortium of companies.
