    In the absence of a proper fixed exchange rate and a credible mechanism to maintain it, Libra looks more like a standard flexible exchange rate currency. Its stability will depend on its credibility. Referring to the fact that there are enough assets backing its supply is not a good argument (that argument applies to any central bank issuing fiat money).

    If you buy most things online, and if everything online is priced in Libras, then you'll end up living your life denominated in Libras, and only converting your Libras into dollars on your occasional touristic visits to the physical world. The goal is for Libra to be more useful than any national currency, accepted in more places and with fewer complications; pegging it to a single national currency would only hold it back.

    A possible policy impact could come from Libra's use as a safe haven. It may be easier for people to flee to Libra than to dollar assets, which could impact exchange rates worldwide. To the extent Libra attracts depositors away from banks, it could have an impact on banks' access to funding.
