LIBRA Jumps 30% After Argentina Report Accuses Backers of Rug Pull

Published at 2025-11-19 08:45:24

LIBRA jumped more than 30% on Wednesday despite a damning 200-page report from Argentina’s Congress that accuses the token’s backers and their political allies of engineering a coordinated rug pull. The sharp upside move appeared driven by heavy buying and possible short-covering, a sign that speculative flows can overpower negative fundamentals in the near term.

The episode underscores increased volatility and political risk for tokens tied to influential actors. The congressional findings raise the prospect of legal action, exchange scrutiny and regulatory responses that could pressure liquidity and price down the line. Traders and holders should be prepared for headline-driven swings as investigators and policymakers assess next steps.
