- “LIBRA” scandal links to “MELANIA” memecoin, sparking concerns about scams.
- Solana-based meme coins face skepticism amid the “LIBRA” controversy.
The “LIBRA” meme coin scandal, involving Argentine President Javier Milei, has triggered widespread discussion in the crypto world. Milei not only endorsed but even retweeted a tutorial on how to buy the Solana-based token. This promotion sent the price soaring followed by a dramatic collapse, causing massive losses for investors.
As a result, Milei now faces fraud charges for his alleged involvement in the token’s promotion. Argentine lawyers raise serious concerns about its legitimacy and the potential impact on the national stock market.
The “LIBRA” fiasco has also drawn attention to the broader Solana ecosystem. There has been an intense debate on the viability of Solana-based meme coins, with many expressing skepticism and concerns about potential scams and extreme price volatility.
On top of this controversy, the “MELANIA” meme coin, named after the first lady of the United States Melania Trump, has now been linked to the “LIBRA” scandal. Analysts at Bubblemaps revealed that both tokens were launched by the same team, sparking outrage among investors and raising red flags about potential scams and insider trading. The ongoing investigation into these tokens highlights the inherent risks associated with meme coins in the cryptocurrency market.
Amidst these debates, comparisons with Ethereum have emerged, with some investors suggesting a shift in strategies.
