Argentina’s LIBRA Investigation Climaxes But $58 Million Moves Before Final Report

Argentina’s Congressional Commission investigating the cryptocurrency LIBRA will present its long-awaited final report today at 4 PM local time (2 PM EST), just as millions of dollars in wallet movements trigger fresh scrutiny.
The timing and the scale have raised urgent questions about political responsibility, judicial oversight, and the fate of funds tied to one of Argentina’s most contentious crypto investigations.
Final Libra Report to Land Amid New Evidence and Judicial Actions
Maxi Ferraro, President of the LIBRA Investigative Commission, confirmed that the final report is the culmination of months of testimony, documents, technical analysis, and judicial coordination.
“Look at that… right on the day of the presentation of the final report, after yesterday’s meeting with Taiano and following the report from the Public Prosecutor’s Office. To this is added the judge’s ruling from 11/6 and the information revealed by the Commission on 10/21, which was furthermore confirmed in that judicial resolution,” Ferraro shared in a Tuesday post.
Yesterday, Ferraro and Commission members met with Prosecutor Carlos Taiano, delivering what he described as critical evidence.
According to Ferraro, the information provided included details that could be linked to indirect payments to public officials related to one of the alleged crypto dens.
Ferraro emphasized that the Commission acted within its oversight mandate, saying the report aims to determine what political actions or omissions “allowed, facilitated, or failed to prevent the development of this case.”
$58 Million in Crypto Quietly Moves Just Before the Report
While Congress prepares to release its findings, on-chain analysts detected major wallet activity linked to the LIBRA case.
According to blockchain researcher Fernando Molina, two dormant wallets, “Milei CATA” and “Libra: Team Wallet 1” suddenly liquidated their USDC positions, totaling more than $58 million, and swapped the stablecoin for SOL.
These wallets had been inactive for nine months. The SOL was then moved to another address known as FKp1t.
“The first interpretation… is that they did it so that the money cannot be frozen… it may be the last time we see this money visible,” Molina noted.
He also highlighted that US authorities froze and later unfroze the funds after determining there was “no risk,” while Argentine prosecutors have repeatedly sought freezing orders since April.
Crucially, SOL cannot be frozen, unlike USDC, a detail that fuels speculation about the timing and intent behind the transfers, especially with the Commission’s report being released today.
Political Oversight Meets Crypto Immutability
Ferraro stressed that the Commission’s mission was never symbolic.
“Political oversight is not an institutional formality, but an indispensable obligation to preserve the integrity of the State… we are going to present a serious and compelling final report.”
The Commission argues that it achieved more in months than others did with significantly more time, framing today’s release as a turning point for institutional accountability in Argentina’s cryptocurrency governance.
The publication of the final report will set the stage for judicial follow-through, potential political consequences, and renewed scrutiny of LIBRA-linked wallets, which are now shifting funds beyond the reach of freezing orders.
With prosecutors actively investigating alleged indirect payments and on-chain analysts warning those recent transactions may be the last visible traces of key funds, today’s findings could reshape the next phase of Argentina’s ongoing crypto crackdown.
