The few reasons to use blockchain at this time is to maintain an optic of trust: that even if you don't fully trust the provider of the token, you can trust the transparency provided by the technology. My judgment is that FB is positioning itself to be ready for when or if the space finds its "mosaic" moment. Otherwise, it is still an investment in a novel tech that is already proven useful for money transference; large sums of money have already been put up by the sector to mitigate and update regulatory risk and compliance.
