Remember the $LIBRA ( ▲ 7.22% ) memecoin scandal involving Argentine President Javier Milei?

1/ $5M Document Nobody Was Supposed to Find

Investigative reports from El Destape have uncovered documents suggesting a massive $5M secret deal involving President Javier Milei to promote the LIBRA token.

The breakdown of how that money was structured tells the real story:

This $5M figure matches almost perfectly what Argentine businessman Diógenes Casares had already mentioned in multiple post-scandal interviews, saying he received messages indicating a senior government official had taken around $5M.

Despite formal requests from plaintiffs, Casares has still never once been called as a witness in the official investigation.

2/ Secret Meeting 2 Weeks Before the Tweet?

→ Call logs show a frenzy of calls between the lobbyist (Novelli) and the President/his sister just minutes before the tweet was posted at 19:01.

3/ Minute-by-Minute Phone Log Is the Most Damning Evidence of All!

As the LIBRA token price crashed later that night, phone lines lit up again. Logs show coordinated calls between the lobbyist, government advisors, and the protocol team late into the night:

Shortly after, the protocol claimed Milei wasn't involved, and Milei deleted the tweet, claiming he didn't know the details. The investigation suggests this "distance" was planned.

At 12:38 AM, Milei posted his own public explanation claiming he had merely shared a private project he personally found promising, had no connection to LIBRA, and was deleting his original tweet to avoid causing further confusion.

4/ Where Things Stand Right Now

The investigation is actively ongoing and the materials recovered from Novelli's phone are expected to become some of the most critical pieces of evidence in the entire case.

A Congressional committee report accuses Milei of facilitating a scheme that wrecked 114,000 wallets. Lawmakers are now recommending a review for potential misconduct in public office.

Milei and his team continue to deny any wrongdoing across the board. But the growing gap between those denials is becoming increasingly difficult to explain away with statements alone.

And the investigation is nowhere near finished.

After years of turf wars over who should regulate the crypto market, the SEC and the CFTC have officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to work together more closely on digital asset oversight.

Under the new agreement, the 2 agencies will increase cooperation through several mechanisms:

In simple terms, they’re trying to end the long-standing situation where each regulator applies its own rules, which has left many crypto companies confused for years.

SEC Chair said that regulatory alignment is about coordinating how regulators respond to crypto businesses, especially when companies ask for guidance or exemptions.

❓ Why This Matters? Historically, the SEC and CFTC have had a quiet power struggle over crypto oversight.

This overlap has created legal uncertainty for the market, and increased risk for companies operating in the space. The new cooperation agreement suggests the 2 agencies have decided to set aside their disagreements and move toward a shared approach.

Interestingly, the effort to align regulations may go beyond digital assets.

Some reports say the SEC and CFTC are even considering working from the same building to improve coordination. Other areas that could see more aligned regulation include:

⏳ But U.S. Crypto Laws Still Aren’t Finished

Despite the cooperation, the crypto industry is still waiting for a major market structure bill currently being discussed in the U.S. Senate.

Even though there’s still a lot of work ahead, many in the crypto industry see the SEC–CFTC cooperation as a major step forward.

If the 2 regulators can truly align their approach, the U.S. crypto market may finally move toward clearer rules and a more stable regulatory environment.
