Argentine court dismisses criminal charges against Milei over LIBRA
#ArgentineCourtDismissesMileiLIBRACase
An Argentine court ruled that Milei, his sister, the token’s promoters, and eight others did not commit a criminal offense, bringing the criminal case to a close.
It is important to clarify that an acquittal only means that no criminal law was violated; it does not mean investors who bought the token can recover their losses. From the token’s launch, promoted by a celebrity, to its price collapse, participants’ losses have become a fait accompli.
The news is likely to affect SOL mainly through market sentiment. Celebrity tokens and meme coin projects are heavily concentrated in the Solana ecosystem, and the dismissal of the criminal charges removes a major legal overhang for the sector. But the resolution of legal risks does not mean that capital will automatically flow back into these tokens.
There are three key areas to watch going forward: whether active addresses and trading volumes in the meme coin sector can sustain a recovery, or whether this is just a short-lived spike; whether civil lawsuits will follow, since the criminal case’s dismissal does not close the door to civil claims; and whether the celebrity token model will be widely replicated. If regulators and courts impose no further restrictions, similar projects may continue to proliferate.
This event is more of a short-term sentiment catalyst and is unlikely to reverse SOL’s underlying market trend. It is just a passing wave of sentiment.
Do you think interest in celebrity tokens across the Solana ecosystem will pick up again?
