Argentina’s President Javier Milei has made his first public statement addressing a cryptocurrency scandal that has rocked the country. The controversy began after memecoin Libra, backed by a group of individuals who proposed and launched it, triggered lawsuits and an internal government probe. Milei confirmed meeting with the people behind Libra but denied posting about it on social media to promote buying it, instead claiming he sought to raise awareness for supporting Argentine businesses using crypto.
