The banking institutions fear projects like Libra becoming a reality. The Bitcoin (BTC) is already a competition for them while Libra will be the new bank. Not Bitcoin, not a bank dealing in fiat but a mixture of the both – a bank dealing in cryptocurrency.
China’s open challenge to Libra was their announcement about China’s Central Bank releasing its own central bank digital currency (CBDC) coin to rival Libra.

Bitcoin is affecting more than just banks, but banks seem to be ‘banking’ the blows. The European Central Bank (EBP)’s chief economist states that owing to its volatility, Bitcoin is not a currency.
ECB has never given cryptocurrency, credit for its impact on the economy- as claimed in May, in an EBC dedicated report.
