Meanwhile, the new meme token, backed by President Javier Milei, saw a downfall soon after its inception into the market. CoinGape reported that project insiders cashed out $107 million after a huge surge, dragging LIBRA coin’s price down 90%.
Nevertheless, the Argentinian President claimed no wrongdoing, further sparking market speculations and token volatility. In turn, the crypto landscape saw an investigation launched into the matter, adding to heat on price dynamics.
President Javier Milei ordered an investigation into the launch of the meme coin and its links to the KIP Protocol. Nevertheless, the renowned VanEck exec believes that the rug pull concerns could be negated and worked on moving ahead, given the President’s pro-crypto vision.
Meme Token’s Price Loses Alarming Value
As of press time, LIBRA coin price fell over 20% in the past 24 hours, closing in at $0.2676. Its intraday low and high were $0.2617 and $0.3526, respectively.
