needs a banking license to operate its digital currency should be decided by regulators and not lawmakers, according to Philip Hammond, Britain's outgoing finance minister.

It is also viewed as a potential money maker for Facebook who would likely compete with the multi-billion-dollar remittance market. "That is an issue for the regulators.
