Javier Milei, President of Argentina, has dissolved the task force investigating the $LIBRA cryptocurrency scandal, marking the action through Decree 332/2025 on May 20, 2025.

The dissolution of the task force signals a shift in the investigation’s focus, potentially impacting investor confidence and Argentina’s regulatory landscape.

The $LIBRA cryptocurrency scandal began with a promotion by Milei, leading to dramatic market reactions. The task force, under the Ministry of Justice, sought to uncover the causes and impacts of the cryptocurrency’s collapse, ultimately resulting in financial loss.

Established by Decree 114/25, the task force’s closure was justified in Decree 332/2025, alongside Minister Mariano Cúneo Libarona. The initial investigation gathered data, now with the Public Prosecutor’s Office for ongoing review.

The scandal’s financial effect was marked by LIBRA’s abrupt value change, affecting investors globally. This raised questions about regulatory oversights in cryptocurrency endorsements and their management in national markets like Argentina.

Broader implications involve political and legal repercussions, as Milei’s administration managed the crypto inquiry against potential fraud accusations. Argentina’s financial laws and political integrity remain under scrutiny.

“The task assigned under Decree No. 114/25 has been fulfilled. Therefore, it is appropriate to dissolve the unit created for that purpose.” — Javier Milei, President of Argentina

Market stability may face challenges as investors assess potential regulatory and economic policies. Details from the investigation will determine LIBRA’s future, and possibly influence Argentina’s approach to digital currency markets.
