The post Insiders Cash Out $107,000,000 in Crypto Before Memecoin Backed by Argentinian President Collapsed: Lookonchain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Insiders extracted over $100 million from crypto markets after Argentinian President Javier Milei backed the launch of a memecoin that was supposedly designed to support the growth of the country. In a now-deleted post, Milei announced the launch of LIBRA, a token designed for “encouraging the growth of the Argentine economy,” along with a Solana (SOL) contract address. LIBRA’s market cap went to $4 billion within hours before the price collapsed, and Milei backtracked his support of the coin. Says Milei in Spanish, “A few hours ago I posted a tweet, as I have so many other times, supporting a supposed private enterprise with which I obviously have no connection whatsoever. I was not aware of the details of the project and after having become aware of it I decided not to continue spreading the word (that is why I deleted the tweet). To the filthy rats of the political caste who want to take advantage of this situation to do harm, I want to say that every day they confirm how vile politicians are, and they increase our conviction to kick them in the a**.” According to blockchain tracking firm Lookonchain, the insiders behind the launch of LIBRA profited over $107 million in USDC and SOL from selling their supply of coins to the retail latecomers. “The LIBRA team has cashed out $107 million! Eight wallets related to the LIBRA team have obtained 57.6 million USDC and 249,671 SOL ($49.7 million) by adding liquidity, removing liquidity and claiming fees.” LIBRA is currently trading 92% down from its all-time high.
