- Argentine Judiciary Clears Milei in LIBRA Crypto Scandal — this brief
The Argentine judiciary has cleared President Javier Milei and ten others in the LIBRA cryptocurrency scandal, marking a significant legal development in the country's crypto market.
Federal judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi announced the dismissal on October 23, following a 20-month investigation. The decision was unexpected given the severity of the allegations and the scale of financial activity involved.
The case centered around a 95% crash in the LIBRA token's value and the withdrawal of nearly $100 million by a few wallets, which had fueled suspicions of criminal fraud. However, the judge found no evidence to support these claims.
This development comes at a time when the Argentine crypto market is under scrutiny, and it may influence public perception of digital assets and regulatory approaches in the country.
In the broader market context, the total crypto market cap stands at $2.76 trillion, with 
Bitcoin showing a slight 24-hour decline of 0.05%. The Fear & Greed Index remains at 54, indicating a neutral market sentiment.
