The Controversial Launch of $LIBRA Token Tied to Javier Milei
A week before the launch of the $LIBRA token, Diógenes Casares, co-founder of decentralized finance company Stream Finance, addressed rumors about a meme coin linked to Argentine political figure Javier Milei. Initially dismissing claims about bribes connected to its creation as unlikely, the narrative shifted with American analyst Nick O'Neill's assertions. O'Neill claimed with 100% certainty that Javier Milei and his team worked extensively for weeks on launching $LIBRA and that payments were involved in its development and launch.
The $LIBRA token was quietly created on February 14, 2025, by Delaware-registered Kelsier Ventures at 6:58 pm Argentina time, under the project name 'Viva La Libertad'. Kelsier Ventures' CEO, Hayden Davis, reportedly met Milei at the Argentine Presidential Palace in 2024, facilitated by Mauricio Novelli—a young trader and presidential advisor acquainted with Milei since 2021.
This development highlights the increasing interaction between political figures and decentralized finance projects, raising questions about transparency and ethical considerations within crypto launches.
