Argentina\u2019s Anti-Corruption Office<\/strong> did not consider President Javier Milei\u2019s promotion of the Libra coin<\/strong> as an official endorsement. On February 14, Milei<\/strong> shared his personal opinion in a post on X. The office stated that Milei did not violate Argentina\u2019s federal<\/strong> ethics laws. No public funds were used during this process. Milei\u2019s social media posts were made as political expression under constitutional rights. Despite claims that investors lost a total of $251 million<\/strong>, the office concluded there was no ethical violation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Libra token reached a market value of $4 billion<\/strong> shortly after Milei\u2019s promotion<\/strong> but then lost about 94%<\/strong> of its value. This drop resembles classic pump-and-dump<\/strong> schemes seen in cryptocurrency<\/strong> markets. Milei\u2019s support statement sparked debate both nationally and internationally. On May 19<\/strong>, Milei signed a decree to dissolve the task force investigating the Libra scandal. This decree prevented any actions against Milei<\/strong> or any Argentine officials allegedly linked to the scandal.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

International Investigations and Crypto Regulations<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

In the US<\/strong><\/a> and UK<\/strong>, criminal investigations related to Libra<\/strong> are ongoing. Numerous class-action lawsuits have been filed due to investor losses. These cases have increased demands for transparency and regulation in digital<\/strong> assets and cryptocurrencies. Regulators are particularly expected to intervene to prevent pump-and-dump schemes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Argentina\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> Anti-Corruption Office<\/strong> clarified the legal boundaries of digital assets and social media posts. It stated that Milei\u2019s social media<\/strong> activity was within constitutional rights. This sets an important precedent for crypto projects<\/strong> and public officials\u2019 use of social media. The Anti-Corruption Office said:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Although the account occasionally references public policies or administrative decisions, it does so in a non-institutional manner and serves as a platform for political and personal expression.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The office confirmed there was no ethical violation in Javier Milei\u2019s Libra<\/strong> promotion. However, international investigations and class actions related to the Libra project<\/strong> continue. The ministry emphasized that Milei\u2019s personal account on social network X expresses political opinions like any other citizen under Argentina\u2019s Constitution, exercising civil and political rights.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
