Today the U.S. House Financial Services Committee will grill Facebook executive David Marcus on the social media giant's proposed Libra cryptocurrency.

The lawmakers will also interview a panel of expert witnesses, including former CFTC chairman Gary Gensler and bitcoin doyenne Meltem Demirors.

The session kicks off at 14:00 UTC (10 a.m. EST). Watch it here:

Also, read our coverage of yesterday's Senate Banking Committee hearing, where mentions of bitcoin were noticeably scarce and Marcus said he'd be willing to be paid 100 percent in Libra.
