Political situation in Argentina
Milei in suspected crypto coup – "was a rug pull"
Argentine President Javier Milei is being criticized after he promoted a new cryptocurrency on X that first saw a rapid increase in value and then crashed completely. Several media outlets report this.
"The world wants to invest in Argentina. $LIBRA” Milei wrote in the post, where in addition to mentioning the cryptocurrency by name, he also linked to a website. A few hours later, the president had deleted the post and distanced himself from the project:
– Obviously, I had no connection with this supposedly private company, he said.
According to analysts, it is a so-called “rug pull”, a scam in which developers produce a cryptocurrency, entice people to invest and then quickly sell it and withdraw as much money as possible.
