Libra Scandal Wallets Buy $61.5M In Solana After Draining Memecoin

Wallet addresses tied to the controversial Libra (LIBRA) token are still pulling money from the failed memecoin and rotating it into other cryptocurrencies despite asset freezes and ongoing fraud investigations.

The wallets associated with the Libra token — which was controversially endorsed by Argentine President Javier Milei — have withdrawn nearly $4 million in liquidity from the memecoin to buy the Solana (SOL) dip.

After the withdrawal, two cryptocurrency wallets associated with the Libra team acquired $61.5 million worth of SOL at an average price of $135, according to blockchain data platform Onchain Lens.

Libra wallets keep draining liquidity

Wallet addresses tied to the Libra scandal continue to syphon liquidity and pour it into new digital assets, despite ongoing investigations and previous asset freezes.

In May, US judge Jennifer Rochon froze $57.6 million in USDC in a class-action suit against crypto venture firm Kelsier Ventures and its three sibling co-founders, Gideon, Thomas and Hayden Davis, alleging they misled investors through the creation of the Libra token.

However, Judge Rochon unfroze the $57.6 million on Aug. 21, citing that the defendants did not cause “irreparable” harm because the funds to reimburse victims are still available.

Libra creator Davis was also the co-creator of the Official Melania Meme (MELANIA) and Wolf of Wall Street-themed Wolf (WOLF) memecoin. Davies launched the Wolf of Wall Street-themed memecoin with an insider supply of over 80%, which led to the token crashing by 99% within two days.

The latest wallet movements indicate that Libra deployer wallets are shifting from insider memecoin launches to exploring altcoin opportunities during the current market correction.

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
