Prosecutors allege that promotional material framed the coin as an equity\u2011like stake, contributing to the decision to freeze approximately $280\u202fmillion in related assets earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Legal observers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/circle-freezes-solana-wallets-tied-to-controversial-libra-token\/\">note<\/a> that Davis\u2019s admission could shift the burden of proof toward demonstrating misrepresentation rather than unlawful securities issuance. Should the court accept the memecoin characterisation, investors may face a longer path to restitution under consumer\u2011protection rather than securities statutes.<\/p>\n<h2>Blockchain Analysis Traces $500\u202f000 USDC Transfer During Presidential Meeting<\/h2>\n<p>Chain\u2011forensics firm Aletheia Labs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/libra-meme-coin-scandal-global-arrest-warrant-issued-for-hayden-davis\/\">provided<\/a> evidence that a wallet tagged to Davis transferred 499\u202f129\u202fUSDC to Kraken at 15:37\u202fUTC on\u202f30\u202fJanuary. The timestamp aligns with official Casa\u202fRosada schedules showing Davis in a closed\u2011door session with President Javier\u202fMilei to \u201cdiscuss decentralised technologies\u201d. Investigators contend that the movement of funds immediately before LIBRA\u2019s February marketing push indicates possible foreknowledge of price impact.<\/p>\n<p>Judge\u202fMarina Torres has set an evidentiary hearing for\u202f19\u202fAugust, when attorneys will argue whether the frozen assets should remain under restraint pending trial. Market participants are watching closely, as the ruling may clarify how U.S. courts classify memecoins tied to high\u2011profile political endorsements.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hayden\u202fDavis told a U.S. court LIBRA is a memecoin and not an investment vehicle Blockchain records show a Davis\u2011linked wallet moved nearly $500\u202f000\u202fUSDC to Kraken on 30\u202fJanuary while he met President\u202fMilei Court filings unsealed this week show Hayden\u202fDavis conceding that the LIBRA token was conceived and marketed purely as a memecoin, lacking any formal business [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":467623,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[442,25],"class_list":{"0":"post-467622","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-other","8":"tag-libra","9":"tag-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/e-bitco.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/e-bitco.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/e-bitco.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e-bitco.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e-bitco.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=467622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/e-bitco.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467622\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e-bitco.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/467623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/e-bitco.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=467622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e-bitco.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=467622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e-bitco.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=467622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
