Facebook Inc will scale back on its plans for Libra global digital currency and will not make it available on its own services for now amid regulatory scrutiny, The Information said on Tuesday.

The company will offer only digital versions of government-backed currencies including the dollar and euro, the report added citing people familiar with the matter.

Facebook did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
